Problem with your link, I think.

Does anyone have a transcript of the Fox News story?

Is this the game raid you were referring to?

Based on the picture, someone probably complained about the lack of parking on game nights.

See I think it's this reason why most game get busted - inproper parking in small lots. Neighbors will notice the heavy traffic on most nights and will start to get suspicious. If you invite people you know and can trust, you should have no worries.

This was hardly a Home Game this was an underground Casino.
These people raked 40k a month, If it comes to getting busted by the law I dont think they want the friendly weekly game in which many law enforcement personnel particicpate as well. In Florida if you start something that big you might get scalped by one of the Indian Reservations.

No, this was a 2 table home game - A social gathering. The media & police have blown this way out of scope.

Most news stories are highly inflated. It makes me angry when the media hypes up the story to make themselves look better.

Can you imagine Bill Walton as a news anchor? Every story would be the biggest story of the year - lol
"And in other news, a man robbed a bank at the corner of Main and State. This was a biggest robbery this state has ever seen!"

If police raided my home without any poker players but me they would find much more than $8,000 and a handgun. I have several handguns, more cash and several long guns. No drugs though. I am sure drugs could be found if I had one of my 20 player hold em tournies though.

Everyone should look into the Libertarian Party. We need less obtrusive big brother government and more common sense government. Please check out the Libertarian views here Libertarian views.

Hell yes! Nice to see a fellow Libertarian on these boards. I figured there had to be one out there somewhere.
