re: Another Common Sense Gun Law Being Proposed In Illinois

You should never consent to a search. Ever.

But a lot of the time these idiots have stuff laying out in the open. Drugs on the seat, weapon laying of floor or whatever. If it is in the open they should have a right to search.

If a firearm is seen in the open they should be allowed to run the serial number to verify that it isnt stolen (like they do on your car tag). If it doesnt come back as stolen then the firearm should be given back to them.
