This is not the first time this sort of thing has happened. I recall a semi ending up rolled in a ditch in New Jersey. (A place I will not go since they regard me as a felon for owning a holow point 9 mm catridge.) The luggage compartment on the tractor came open and dumped the driver's shotgun in the ditch. The "authorities" carted him off. It was abuses of this sort that inspired the Firearms Owner's Protection Act, the federal law allowing transport through such places. Since then I've heard of local law enforcement regarding stopping for lunch at a resturant as "stopping" and not "traveling".
