I see why you seem to like "B" better Peter. From the cloudiness in her eyes she seems to have cataracts and therefore can't see too well :^).

Looks like the OP hasn't been back since mid-day on Friday.
Maybe he retained counsel who likely told him to quit posting his version of the circumstances on an open forum...probably always good advice.
As far as weapons condition it was mag inserted bolt to the rear. It is my "duty" rifle and set that way for easy load and point. Slap the bolt release, push safety to fire. I know the safety advocates will say this is not the ideal or safe condition and I agree. It's not "safe" that way. It's nearly deadly which IMO is the purpose of a rifle.

Is the OP a Police Officer? The way this sounds this is a departmental issue. If hes in the Military, is big green now alowing soldiers to take home their Rifles?

That's what led me to believe he was military, but I know of NO military service that allows someone to bring a gov't owned weapon home, except the L/E guys like CID, NCIS, CGIS, etc... The OP doesn't seem "mature" enough to be a member of one of those organizations.
He said "Duty Rifle"... He's using that for home protection or "On Duty" as he implies?
I also know of NO AGENCY that would teach their people to keep an M-16 series rifle in that condition. This statement alone REALLY makes me suspect the OP may have a propensity for prevarication {Translation for Grape: He is potentially more FOS than a Christmas Turkey).
My nose is starting to itch. Something smells kinda 'funny'.

Damn sure does!

The funny smell is your upper lip.

Don't quote on things you don't understand Jr and Novacop doesn't rate a Mr.

I pretty sure the summons my buddy has in his wallet is real... The sergeant (three chevrons) and four other policemen wandering my house were very real Mr. NovaCop10.
Sorry if this all seems a bit curt. But I'm tired and my interwebs hater alert went off.
They aren't interchangeable any more than "will" and "shall" are interchangeable or "CHP" and "CCW" are interchangeable.I'm military. I use the word "duty" lightly... it's just a word in my vocabulary easily interchanged with ready, prepared, accessible... you guys are intense.
Just going to throw this out there. From what I'm gathering, the police released your buddy on a summons for a class 1 misdemeanor, which I'm assuming did not occur in their presence. Virginia code 19.2-81 clearly states the times when an officer can make a warrantless arrestr on a misdemeanor that does not occur in said officer's presence. This charge does not fall into one of those categories. A summons is JUST AS SERIOUS as being taken into custody and brought before a magistrate. The code also states the police MUST release you on a summons for a misdemeanor unless certain circumstances apply.

The officers should have released your friend without any charges and sought a warrant from a magistrate.
edit: I see novacop already touched on this, but I figured its best to have the code section for all to read and enjoy.
