I buy large (Prevost) motorcoaches for a living. These beasts carry 200+ gallons of fuel, and when I buy it I have to get it home. Fortunately, up to now I've always found the (racor) fuel filter bowls to be amber, not red.

Although I doubt that I (or any private coach) will be pulled over and stick-tested, I worry a little about picking up one with red fuel in the tank and being tested. I think that generally (not always I guess) you are in pretty good shape if you don't give them a reason to pull you over or suspect wrongdoing, which my Pilot brothers call "cleaning up the wreckage", or having everything in order before you start so that there isn't a reason to suspect nor ticket you and no reason to detain you if you are pulled over for another reason.

As to the handgun thing? To each his own, but it seems that many of the people I know with carry permits, ... are the very ones who shouldn't have one (high on the power of having a gun at-hand). Much like many of the Police Officers I know / have met.
