On the recordJuly 25, 2006
Let me say this. There are lots of reasons why law enforcement may be going by: to check on the safety of people, to look into a house to see if anybody is there lying wounded or whatever. They see guns lying around. No one is there, thank God. They are all out, but they see guns lying around. Under this bill, if they pick up those guns, lest looters come and find them later and it later turns out that those guns legally belonged to the homeowner, when that homeowner returned, he could sue the individual privately. And, therefore, no cop in his right mind would pick up those guns. He would have to leave it for the looters. This bill, as I said before, is insane.
