Got pulled over last night...

[Booya]

I almost always CC.
And I don't really have a good reason reason as to why I would tell him. I just feel obligated to do so, though I know I'm not obligated.
They come into contact with enough criminals, I like to tell them from the beginning that I'm not a criminal. It's a choice whether or not to tell, and I choose to do so.

All good, I was just curious and I like to hear the reasoning behind peoples decisions when the opportunity arises.

I guess (for myself anyway) I choose not to inform simple to keep everyone at ease. I personally don't see why injecting a firearm in a scenario would make anyone more comfortable. I suspect that the criminals they run into probably try to make the case they are not criminals from the beginning as well. Although, making them aware you have a firearm is a pretty good way to say you're not a criminal or a really bad one.

To each their own though, I respect your stance. Thanks for the answer.

Anytime. I also like hearing other's opinions, and don't mind sharing mine

I think a formal complaint should be filed against him.

I agree...and he should have screamed..... I Have A Gun! @ first contact with the officer.

I'd say printcraft was let off because he was wearing his Santa costume as depicted in his avatar.

You have to follow the "I have a gun" with "and I know how to use it!" That tells the officer that you train regularly and have safe gun-handling practices.

I was at work before the Walmart trip and before being pulled over.
I never take my firearm to work. I don't feel comfortable leaving it in my car. my place of employment is in a town right next to a high crime town. There have been several cases of automotive break-ins.

How can you say there is a high crime town in "DA REGION"?

 

[seabassnfg]

Haha I think you know exactly where I'm talking about seeing that you live in Hobart

Possibly, cop nearly had a stroke.

 

[Dead Duck]

So how'd you really get out of it?

You flashed the cop, didn't you?

I also got pulled over the other night, because someone stole my registration sticker. Officer was pleasant, and even smiled as he curb-stomped me and stole my wallet. Then he let me off and said I should get a replacement sticker at my earliest convenience to avoid wasting my own time/the ER docs'.

Sounds like a nice Christmas gift to me.
