Pulled over in Michigan.

Tradition!

Beat me to it.

 

[Expat]

Big fail on bigtanker. You didn't just crack your windows and start yelling out repeatedly "am I being detained, am I free to go"?"
We could have had some quality entertainment if you had done this right.

C'mon, it's a village so friendly that the police cars are striped in the school colors. Hunting boots? Sure. Curb stomping boots? Not so much. Besides, you'll have to find a curb first and there ain't too many of those in the 'Burg.

And I bet the deputy is only allowed one bullet and he has to carry it in his shirt pocket?

Your political ideals intrigue me.

I am interested in putting you on the air to sell vitamins with moronic, insane political ideals that will be quoted on INGO as gospel.

I've said too much. I've got some other place to be. It was nice knowing... I mean, seeing you guys.

Hey, if there's a steady paycheck, sign me up.

Everyone knows that a LARRY can't melt steel beams.

I do it almost every day.

I got pulled over in Grand Rapids about two years ago. Saw construction up ahead where I wanted to turn left and quick turned left on a side street (to then turn right and then left again to bypass). Anyway, side street was like 25mph residential and I was neighborhood of 42. An officer was sitting in the 3rd driveway and quickly pulled me over. He came to my passenger window and asked for DL/Ins. I sort of interrupted him and said hey, I'm supposed to tell you I have a firearm. He asked where, and it was in the glovebox (on top of my insurance card) He had me pull out the guns- mine and my wifes- and set them on the floorboard then hand him the info. He came back and said to slow down. We had a great conversation about the laws between the states and whatnot. I asked him if his database includes my LTCH. He said it does not. I'm not sure if he would know if a MI resident would have a carry license. Turned out to be a fantastic interaction.

Rosie O'Donnell and Charlie Sheen say you can do that with fire.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

I remember Lunker's. Priced like Gander Mountain but they were knowledgeable. Bought a lot of tackle there. E'burg is a nice little town. Well done BT!

 

[ghuns]

Holy crap...... your were in the burg?
I know a guy that considers that Southern Canada.

I consider it more like northern Arkansas.

Well, that and a buttload of oxygen injected at supersonic speeds.

 

[Bigtanker]

So I did it according to Michigan law today and didn't get pulled over.

I crossed the tracks @ Harris St (4 crossings north of your pic) recently and spied a large chunk of automobile laying next to the tracks well off the roadway. Guess as deterrent, they now leave remnants of past fatalities as reminder?

I lived in Edwardsburg for 7.5 years, had my cpl and been pulled over a few times anyhow. I did have a state trooper tell me he saw I had a cpl, that time I did not have a gun with me. In Michigan, you have to go through an NRA training course to get a cpl. During the class, the officer teaching it, went over handling getting pulled over. We were told to always let them know, I have a cpl and I am or am not carrying. When I have been pulled over while carrying I have heard, cool just leave it where it is and we will be fine or just no problem. In all of the times I have been pulled over, with or without a gun, I have never been beat or shot by a cop. If people would learn not to be *******s, life would go smoother. Honestly, it should be a law that if you pull out your cell phone as soon as you are pulled over and start recording, you should get your ass kicked. #stopraisinglil*******s

I'm sure the MI police can see an MI Cpl, what my officer said was that he could not see my LTCH on his computer. It was interesting because I would have thought our LTCH would be somewhere entered into a federal database that all states could see.

You're definitely right about being civil during a stop. Seems pretty easy to me for everyone to remain safe.

There's no reason to have that now. There's no requirement for it, and really no call for it other than people who want national reciprocity. Likely a national reciprocity among states for carry licenses would involve a national (not necessarily federal) database of license holders.

The old grain elevator is to your right with the school-colors water tower behind. The family-owned grocery store I worked at as a teen was just south of that intersection where the new Dollar General is. I miss Raab's. Great little store, good people ran it. You had to go past our "town triangle" to get there. We used to joke that Edwardsburg was too small for a town square, so we had a town triangle. It's where the library is.

There was no Taco Bell or McDonalds when I left the area. There were, however, 2 grocery stores. Now there are none.
