[QUOTE="Daves762, post: 2069934, member: 33751"] I had that happen to me in SOCAL when I was stationed there. I was bow hunting with my wife. We had a large group walk past us in single file. The lead guy had an AK 47, then a couple dozen with burlap "backpacks" and a gallon jug of water in each hand, then the last guy had a MAC10. We were in ghillie suits as we were bow hunting. They never saw us. All we had were pistols. We waited an hour, and made our way back to the car and tried to leave. Soon as I pulled out onto the dirt two track road a couple sheriffs lit us up with red blue and white lights. I informed them we were still armed. We had a long talk about how if they were doing their job we would not have to be armed in our vehicle. But I was not going to get jumped at the car by coyotes or illegals because I was the only one out here without a gun. The sheriffs were real tuff guys, with all kinds of threats and giggles until I showed them my credentials and they got real nice and polite all of a sudden. We left, and downloaded before we hit the paved highway. One of a million reasons I never finished my career in SOCAL. Rude, disrespectful hunters are bad enough but illegals with automatic weapons are not what I'm interested in encountering when I'm hunting. [/QUOTE]
