This is by no means a personal attack but rather a question/comment. If someone were indeed riding a bicycle down a busy public road with a rifle slung across their back would you not want one of those "ignorant cops" to a least speak with the individual on the bike? Not to harass or intimidate but simply to determine if possibly the biker is on his way to the nearest public school?
...and you think he would just tell you that he was on his way to school if questioned? Sure
