Now, heres something you dont 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 youre approached by law enforcement and youre carrying a concealed firearm you must inform them.
Im 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.

It used to be that way with me,too. When getting purchase permits became a requirement,the local sheriff told his secretary to give me a permit for anything I wanted to buy,including machine guns. We didn't have CCW permits at that time,but since he had known me for over 20 years,he probably knew I had a handgun in my pocket while he was talking to me.
I had a deputy stop by the house one night around midnight and ask me to get my 45 and ride along with him. He had no other deputies available as backup,and had to go break up a drunken party in a farmer's field. He told me he wanted me to stay in the car and not say or do anything unless he was in obvious danger.
I have had highway patrolmen take their weapons out of their holster and hand them to me when I noticed they had new guns and asked about them. When a HP officer on duty hands his loaded gun to you to check out,he's not very worried about you being dangerous.
I am seeing the recent "professional LEO" graduates of cop schools getting VERY vocal about being anti-gun,though. All these people are in their early 20's,but they won't always be that age. One day they will be senior LEO's,and establishing official department policies.
I even had a Lt with the local sheriff's office tell me several months ago that "I don't care who gets killed as long as it isn't me." when I questioned the insane policy being taught now to partially block part of the traveled road with patrol cars while doing traffic stops. He told me this was for "officer safety",and I told him that was bullshit because by blocking the road with his patrol car he made it more likely that a car coming down the road would run into it,and in turn push that car into the car he had stopped and kill that driver,even if HE managed to jump out of the way because the driver in the stopped car was strapped in behind a steering wheel and had nowhere to go.
Young cops all seem to have a "us versus them" attitude,and they are creating this attitude with the public,also. They obviously aren't smart enough to understand they would lose that war in real life.
