Is that illegal? No.

Does that give you reasonable suspicion to get a warrant to search his house? No.

You think if he asked him if he had guns he would have said yeah? No.

Come on guys, I know we like to bash the cops a bit, but a bit of common sense wouldn't go astray.

Valid points @Jexla, however, it was Gillespie I was most pissed-off about, and the way the media always seem able to drag out some more bullshit from him and other dickheads any time there's firearms incident.
