This seems like a no brainer. A glove compartment is any compartment where gloves are stored. Just put a pair of gloves in the center console and be done with it.

In Virginia, concealing a handgun anywhere in your car (without a concealed handgun permit) is illegal. So when we’re transporting without said permit, we just lay that baby on the seat or the dashboard in plain sight.

Kentucky Supreme Court has a history of such stupid and illegal, nonsensical decisions. They once upheld the conviction of a man for DWI, who never left his own farm and was not even in his vehicle when the state troopers trespassed on his land and asked him if he had driven to his creek.

The reasoning, if it can be called that, was that since he had been drinking, even though he had not left his own land and was skipping rocks in the creek to try to cool off after a verbal argument with his girlfriend, no one could know just when he would go careening down a public highway and cause harm to others.

I kid you not! Which brings up the question, why weren’t all the justices on the Kentucky Supreme Court in prison for child rape. They all had penises and no one could know when they would pass a schoolyard and go wild and do harm to those children?

earth to kentucky – laws are supposed to help us make sense of complex, hairy snarls. they don’t do us much good when they become complex, hairy snarls; kindly stop being part of the problem and consider becoming part of the solution.

I thought that Allah or Muhammad declared that Muslims were prohibited from drinking alcohol.

Stupid issue.

They should be addressing the fact that he was drunk, in public, and in possession of a firearm.
