Road rage arrest with firearms ammo seized

I could see that. Only thing I would change is reverse the order of events in point number two. I’ll explain:

If I were investigating a road rage gun-waving incident, the very first thing I would do, once I have a possible suspect identified, is check AFS for guns registered to, and check to see if he/she is prohibited from possessing firearms. Then worry about tracking him down and arresting him. Legal gun owner or not, it doesn’t change my approach to arresting the suspect. He’s gonna get treated like an armed & dangerous felony suspect.

So why would it be necessary to check AFS beforehand if the result is the same?

Does the allegation or approach change if they’re prohibited possessors?

Likely in any case, a felony car stop will be made despite if legally owned or illegally possessed.

Not necessary, just what I would check first. Personal preference to know before making contact with the suspect.
