Now, here’s something you don’t see everyday; a police officer from Ohio doing a routine traffic stop thanked the person he pulled over for having a concealed carry permit.
The man, who recorded the traffic stop, was driving 15 miles per hour over the speed limit. According to Ohio law, if you’re approached by law enforcement– and you’re carrying a concealed firearm– you must inform them.
“I’m happy to see more people with their CCWs [concealed carry weapons permit], especially with the world becoming the way it is,” said the officer.
I’m happy to see more people with their CCWs [concealed carry weapons permit], especially with the world becoming the way it is,” said the officer.
In my 20 years, I've never spoke anything but this sentiment to the public. Almost every officer I personally know is pro 2nd amendment and anti gun law. I personally know over 1,000 sworn officers in the state of NY, not one supports or agrees with the UnSafeAct. In fact, every sheriff of every county in libtard NY spoke against it and vowed not to enforce it.
"A federal lawsuit has been filed against the State of New York by affiliates of the National Rifle Association (NRA). New York State's Rifle and Pistol Association filed the lawsuit earlier this month claiming that "the SAFE Act is unconstitutional in that it violates the Second Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause, and is unconstitutionally vague." Now, the New York State Sheriffs Association has joined as amicus curiae in the lawsuit to challenge the constitutionality of the NY SAFE Act."
A CCW holder should inform the cop and keep his hands visible at all times.
I am curious though, given how much the libmedia has ranted against CCW, how many shooting incidents with police in routine stops occurred with a CCW permit holder.
The number must be vanishingly small or we would have seen blaring headlines of "CCW Permit Holder Shoots Cop" long since. The number of crimes committed by CCW holders must be vanishingly small.
A CCW holder should inform the cop and keep his hands visible at all times.
I've never shown or displayed my carry permit, before or after my service as a LEO, while being stopped for a traffic offense or a check point.
I've displayed only what the officer requires, license, registration and proof of insurance. I keep both hands, palms facing up, resting on top of the steering wheel... I'm very polite and I answer the questions asked. I don't argue or try and hold court on the side of the road.
I've only received two tickets prior to my service. Both speed, both times guilty.
One ticket during my service as a LEO... and I was driving a patrol car when I got the ticket.
I've displayed only what the officer requires, ...
What the cop asks for is irrelevant in states where all CCW permit holders are required by law to volunteer that information any time they are approached by a LEO acting in his official capacity.
For those of you who don't understand or have never dealt with this,it means if you have a CCW and are standing in line at your local stop and rob and a cop gets in the line behind you,you are NOT required to announce you have a CCW and are carrying a concealed weapon.
If you are stopped for any infraction of the law regardless if you are walking or driving,or if you are a potential witness at a crime scene and a cop comes up to interview you,you ARE required to tell him or her that you are armed and have a CCW permit.
I have personally only seen one cop freak out when I told him I was carrying. It was a new HP cop that stopped me for speeding. I had the window down when he walked up to the car,the shoulder harness was still on,and I had both of my hands on the top of the steering wheel when he walked up to the window. When I told him I was armed and had a CCW,he panicked,backed up into the road,and drew his weapon on me and asked me what I had and where it was.
Stupid SOB would have been ran over if there had been any cars coming.
I told him I had my 22 revolver in my pocket,and he told me to exit the car with my hands in the air and move to the rear and lean forward while placing both hands on the trunk. There I was,maybe 2 PM on a weekday afternoon,looking like a criminal being arrested by anyone passing by,and I had done nothing to deserve to be treated like a felon.
He took my 22 back to his patrol car with him,and I am ASSUMING he called in the serial number to see if it were stolen.
He came back and gave me the ticket and told me to walk to the hood of my car and stop and then he would place my 22 on the trunk and I could get it AFTER he had driven away.
That's when I told him that if he was scared of a old fat man with a CCW having a gun on a sunny afternoon,what was he going to do when he had to stop a car full of drunken blacks or rednecks at 2 AM and they got belligerent with him? I further told him he needed to find a new job because he had too much mouse in him to be a HP trooper and he was going to end up shooting someone out of fear and end up in prison himself.
I guess he must have thought that over or had other run-ins,because a couple of months later I heard he had quit and gone to work selling insurance or something.
What the cop asks for is irrelevant in states where all CCW permit holders are required by law to volunteer that information any time they are approached by a LEO acting in his official capacity.
I wouldnt live or police in any state where I'm required to tell you I'm armed on a V&T stop.
I personally never cared if motorists were armed and concealed.. as long as they stayed in their vehicle and didn't pull it out to show me. I would imagine I've stopped hundreds upon hundreds of vehicles where one of the occupants were armed and I didn't know it. I'm still alive.
