Pulled over while carrying...

[rht4162]

funny link, ok bottom line here is if its concealed and your in your car, dont ask dont tell is probably the best way to go, if you are going to be searched or are asked to step out, tell the officer immediately while keeping your hands clearly visible, tell him you are licensed to carry and are currently carrying, ask him how he would like you to proceed, and remember, keep your hands visible.

And it only took 10 pages to figure that out.

And that's what has gotten us to 10 pages on a subject that comes up once a month.

As a Police Officer my opinion is this: I am of the opinion that if you are legal to carry I dont have a hell of a lot to fear from you...

It's good to hear police officers' perspectives on here, as often it seems people are guessing about this, or extrapolating from 1 or 2 experiences.

"Remember it is not like the old days, Many cops are not 'gun guys' and were never military" is also enlightening about the times we live in. I'm 48 and my generation's parents and grandparents were war veterans. Guns weren't scary and evil to them. I remember playing with toy guns, squirt guns, cap guns, Star Trek phasers that shot plastic discs, etc., with my parents' blessing. I had GI Joes with pistols as standard equipment (and that was when they were a foot tall with moveable joints - wish I still had them as they'd each be worth a grand today, but that's another story..) My father had a pistol in the hall closet and once in awhile I'd take it down and look at it and nobody called DSS.

(Us kids would also go down to the store and buy candy cigarettes but that's another story too! )

These days Steven Spielberg edits the guns out of E.T. and replaces them with flashlights, and a little boy who thinks a chicken nugget in the lunchroom looks like a gun and points it at someone and says "bang!" ends up at the police station (according to Michael Graham at WTKK.)

It's a self-escalating hysteria orchestrated by liberals, to the point where, as a friend said to me last night "The whole issue of the 2nd amendment has been settled, it was only meant to establish state militias, and I don't want anyone to have a gun."

The sad part is that most of us myself including have read every post on the 10 pages repeating the same thing over and over again...

What M1911 said.

When I was pulled over last I wasn't carrying. If I was I wouldn't have said anything until he asked me to step out of the car. He actually asked me AFTER I was out of the car, "Do you have any weapons, I noticed an NRA sticker on your car." I told him no, and if I did I would have hold him at the point he asked me to step out of the car. [Oh of course it was in NH, not MA)

This is where I really hate our legal system. "Do you have any weapons?" Well, I am wearing shoes and in MA I can be charged for assualt with a weapon for kicking you with them on. Of course if you actually say that to the officer, you are likely to not like the results. Of course if you don't tell him about the utility knife you accidently left in your pocket when you realized you need to run to home depot for the correct hose clamp you are not likely to like the results either.

Depends upon if the shoes are pre-ban or not. If they have "high capacity" shoe-lace holes, you could be looking at felony, buddy!

Yeah, I had to use my LTC as a driver's license. Friends took me out for my really belated birthday, forgot my license though. Went to a bar w/ a cop on detail and the bartender wouldn't serve me, I asked him if this ID would work, he brought it to the cop and the COP OK'd it! Couldn't remember the rest of the night though.

That's exactly what I did on my 21st birthday. The only difference it that I still only had my FID card. It's funny though when you go into Boston, are asked for ID, and all of a sudden you hear: "What the F--K is this?!" from a doorman! I love it! Got me in though!

I LOVE giving my LTC as my state issued ID - but sometimes it bites me in the ass when they cant figure out where the birthday is on the card... Havent had a chance to use it with TSA at Logan yet though...that should be fun.

Pulled over by a NH statey this morning. He didn't ask if I had a weapon and I didn't volunteer any info.

Got a warning. I like NH.

Funny story...a cop who posts on GlockTalk.com posted a year or two ago about something like this. He was driving down the street, a guy waved him down and asked for a ride. Cop asked him why he wants a ride, he said he wants to go to the police station to take out a restraining order on his wife/girlfriend, she's crazy. The cop says no problem, but asks the guy before he gives him a ride if he has anything illegal on him. The guy tells him he’s carrying a gun, turns out the guy was a convicted felon with 3 previous felon in possession of a firearm charges. You’d think he’d be smarter than to flag down a cop for a ride with an illegal gun in his pants, but criminals generally get caught by making stupid mistakes.

Criminals are not always the brightest bulbs in the circuit. Recently a guy brought his computer into Best Buy for repair. He said he was losing pictures from the hard drive. Problem was they were child pornography pics. Police were called and the rest is history.
