    All I know about grand jury was my sibling was on it, a cop tried to convince them that having a machete in the car should be an extra crime (carrying a weapon, maybe) and they were all like “no bro you absolutely need a machete here occasionally, some of us garden and stuff” and the cop seemed shocked they didn’t just nod along and do what he said.

      Yep, thats how its supposed to work.

      Which is why there may be a perfectly reasonable issue as to why it didnt go any further.

        Or a batshit one. It could just as easily be something like “well of course you need a couch gun. What if someone breaks in while you’re watching TV? Child proof safes take too long to open”

        I hate that I’ve been places I can see this happening. And they’d all call themselves responsible gun owners because they tell their kid where the gun is and not to touch it
