If he stopped to ask the cops for directions, the odds are this is some poor dumb SOB who got lost on his way to eradicate gophers Caddy-shack style on a farm in back-country Maryland.

I had heard that the rifle was cased. I didn't hear whether or not it was unloaded. If it was, he's in compliance with Federal transportation laws. I don't know about the alleged IED. Until more is known, it's hard to pass judgement. At the moment, it seems like a cased rifle doesn't really constitute probable cause to have searched the vehicle.

I heard the Sgt. making the announcement on the radio.  She was practically hyperventilating that they had found "an actual weapon" in the man's vehicle.

Whelp, it's a pretty good bet the guy was a liberal--after all, does any REAL man ask a WOMAN for directions?
