Now why??? Oh well...I just happen to have a preference...

The advise given by that judge is absolutely rediculous...I guess it would be good that it was only advise...

Otherwise, I might find myself in contempt of court for telling a judge something a little off-color...And then still not doing it...

Discuss away, brothers and sisters!

While the admonishment to "turn in your permit" was only "advice", the order to destroy the gun was not.

No crime committed = property seized. Sounds like some of our drug laws with seizing cars and stuff... both bad ideas.

North Carolina, I belive. There is an NC on the banner somewhere.

Maybe the judge didn't hear the verdict was Not guilty. That's ok , sentence the defendant anyway. [/sarc off]
