Depends on the state.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
You have got to be kidding? What if you don't have a gun with you. That can't possibly be the first thing on anybody's mind when they are getting pulled over.A later note: Here in Mich. it's a felony to not "immediately identify" yourself as a CCW holder, and of course, a felony takes away your Second Amendment right.
MS doesn't have any classes, just a full background check including sending your fingerprints off to the FBI, a high fee, and a long wait. This got me to thinking, what do you do if you get stopped in a state were your permit isn't recognized? You would basically be confessing to a crime wouldn't you? Was that covered in any of the classes?He says that if you get pulled over, tell the police officer that you have a CCW permit when you hand him your drivers license. ALSO tell him if you are carrieing a weapon or not.
Hah! People think I'm crazy for carrying when I mow. I worry about the coyotes that the State of Ohio decided would be a good idea to reintroduce to control the deer. Good thinking except this was about 200 feet from the house one Sunday morning.kc8sfq said:I almost always carry, and ,yes, I even carry when I mow the lawn. I even have scored a couple of woodchucks with the 1911 from the tractor. You've really got to pay attention to fields of fire and down range safety fans when you're moving on a vehicle.
HeadWizard said:I was driving home from the sporting clays range and got stopped in a routine roadblock license and registration check.You have "routine" roadblocks where you live? "Let me see your papers...(insert german accent)"... (the classic 'you have no rights and you are always a suspect line) ... good heavens.
Here in Texas the CHL comes up when they run your license as well and you are required, anytime a LEO asks for your ID to also provide your CHL (don't leave home without it) and it is highly recommended that you tell them if you are armed or not.
MOST Texas LEOs have a positive attitude about CHL holders and many feel that since you have gone through a more extensive background check than they had to in order to get their job that you are a Certified Good Guy when you have one.
On a side note, thank heavens that Joe Horn was no billed. Our new Texas Castle Doctrine law saved his neck. Way to go Joe!
