All this for trying out your new shotgun??  What if that's all the guy was doing?  Go outside city limits, find a place to pull over, pop off a few rounds to see if your purchase functions, get back in your rig and have the the full force of the paramilitary sheriff's force come down on you.  Without knowing the whole story this could have been the scenario.  C'mon RG, put some teeth in the story.  There has to be more to it than this story says.
