An anonymous forensics person earlier today asked me for a sheet. . . and I thought, hmmm. A sheet for what – a fitted sheet, a flannel sheet, a sheet for a toga, a sheet to cover a body. You never know.
It was a sheet to cover a long gun. I pointed out to him that even when it is covered by a sheet, a long gun looks like a gun. And carrying it around in a public place may cause someone to notice.
I gave him a BIG tote bag to put it in, and a sheet, so that it looked more like an umbrella in a tote bag.
So far, thankfully, I have not heard any repercussions from the transport of the implement. I can just imagine the scenario, “but officer, I am just taking it to class. No, no, I’m the professor.” Worse and worse.
