Pulled over by ISP

[MCgrease08]

As quick as possible.

Stick your head out the window and yell, "I got a gun!" to make sure the LEO knows right away. He'll thank you.

Great advice.

Pulled over three times (only one ticket) 2 County Sheriff and ISP, guess which one gave me a ticket. Never asked about guns. Go figure.

You've only gotten one ticket?

You must have a nice rack.

I got pulled over doing 15 MPH over last year. Full camo, blood all over my pants, M&P9 OWB, AR cases and 50 cal cans all over the back of my van. Very professional and pleasant interaction and got a verbal warning. True story.

The tags associated with that thread are almost as enjoyable as the thread itself.

The last time I was pulled over was over 20 yrs ago....... the cop asked for my license and ai handed him my DL and Carry Permit. He said no big deal..... asked for my registration and I informed him it was in the glovebox with a tokarev under it..... he said your fine go ahead and grab it. Ran my info and gave me a verbal warning. THEN asked me what’s a tokarev. I asked him if he would like to see it which he did..... explained a bit about them and their history etc...... we end d up crossing paths later on at a range where he was a member as well and he spent the day shooting a lot of my sniper rifles etc...... a good guy and a good cop!!!!

I've only been pulled over once by ISP, about a decade ago. I informed him that I was carrying (I'm not sure why I did that) but no he didn't draw down on me, didn't pull me out of the car, or even ask to see my gun or permit. He just told me to "leave everything where it is" and sent me on my way with a $25 seat belt ticket. What an a**hole! Times have changed though.

Same exact scenario happened to me about 3-4 months ago. ISP, seatbelt. Wasn't any trouble.

Make sure you also wave the gun around outside the window while you verbalize the above. They like that honesty.

Unsnapped his holster and dropped into a shooting stance?

Actually you point the gun up in the air and run it to slide lock. That way they know you're out of ammo!

But he did it speedily. And took his wallet.

I think for a lot of people (incl. myself), it's really hard to not answer a question with at least something. Even when the cash register at Shoe Carnival asks me, "What's you cell phone number?" I'm flustered... I don't want to give it to her, but grammatically, the question demands a proper format...

^This.
I honestly had no idea we were not required to answer questions when asked. I guess I need to watch more of the "am I being detained" videos.
Also, I think I'll just go ahead and print up some of your business cards myself.

VUPD, just because it hasn't happened to you or that's not how you react, doesn't mean it didn't happen. You can say what you want but I'm telling you he did this. I did most of what has been recommended in these replies, was as nonthreatening as possible, opened all the windows including the one in the rear which comes down, kept hands visible. Kirk's recommendation is tough for me. If someone in LE asks me a question, I try to work with them with only the necessary facts. I absolutely agree with Kirk to not get 'chummy' and **** chat.

Point of me sharing this experience is to learn if something has changed across agencies telling them how to deal with a LTHC as a threat or was it just this one guy. It did happen, exactly as I posted. You don't believe it? That's ok. Trying to defend others in your profession, I get that. But don't lead others on the board to think this never happens or that type of reaction won't raise questions.

Whocares?

Whocares?

If he's serious, that means a state trooper took his wallet.

I usually keep my limo dark tinted windows rolled up tightly and only crack the drivers side slightly when the officer pulls up and I ask: "What man? What cha want?"

Driving a Camry (company car), I usually don't warrant a glance from, well, most anyone. Knock on wood, I have not yet been pulled over driving it.

I meant "whocares" in the classic INGO sense. From this thread I have jumped to Wallet, to iPhone, and to actually possibly discovering why Denny is regarded as the thread killing historian. So it's been a good morning so far.

Officer Jim Reed endorses this technique.
