Yes the law could have been written clearer. Perhaps when we have a President more willing to sign a law which clarifies the situation in our favor we can push it.

Stupid as it is though he took possession of a firearm in a state where he was prohibited from doing so. Sorry but he should never have touched that bag and it was his responsibility to know that.

I am glad the charges were dropped and happy he got his property back but like it or not he was in violation of the law when he picked up that bag. Stupid, yes but it was the law.
