Two Virginia residents arrested for illegally possessing loaded handguns

[Day444]

Maybe the "Felons" allowed the search? "Do you mind if we search your car?" Nope, go ahead.
Could have happened.

And let's not forget Hanging! There were no penitentiary's so the Founding Fathers would just string you up and be done with you!

As related to the OPs original post, there is not enough info in the article as to why the car was searched to make a reasonable opinion on the constitutionality of the search, but felons cant own guns anyway so . This does scream of drugs but the drug war is a different thread altogether.
