Shitty cops. Best method to notify a police officer you are exercising your second amendment duty is by putting your gun to their head and not hesitating to kill that pig.
@derek8171 well your arrgument is invailed. its a right not a duty first. second according to your profile and comment history you appear to be a "angry hippie/ liberal who must be weak minded because of the need for illegal substance use." IE Weed, mushroom, Lsd. and i think you'd be better off stating "... kill that police officer." instead of "... kill that pig." i really havent ever see a pig driving a police car. and if it was you wouldnt want to kill it because its intelligent
Cops are legally allowed to lie to you. So how do we know this cop is giving us good advice?
You know what a lawyer once told me? Cops are not lawyers.
Keep your hands on the wheel, be respectful and polite to the police officer, and only provide required documentation. That’s it.
Keep your damn mouth shut otherwise.
Oh yeah, and don’t ever lie to a cop. Only they are allowed to lie. They’re special. Don’t want to answer a question? You guessed it, keep your mouth shut.
Screw telling them anything I don't have to tell them!! Trusting cops gets too many people killed lately for my liking!! Let them wonder if I am not obligated to let them know!!
@Gman6755 Some states have laws that require you to inform a LEO during a stop that you have a CCW and if you are in possession or not and where it is located.
@The009 And those laws are a violation of your 1st and 5th Amendment rights. Just like the government can’t prevent you from speaking, the government can’t pass laws forcing you to speak and then punishing you for not speaking.
@voogru even though that is true the law is the law and if you don't follow it such as here in OHIO you can lose your CCW and go to jail and wind up with a Felony Change.
Just because it isn't right doesn't mean that you don't have to do it.
Personally what do I care if an office knows I have it. I would rather them know and not shoot me then find out later and be trigger happy and kill me over something as simple as not telling them.
@The009 An unconstitutional act is not a law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; it affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation as inoperative as though it had never been passed. -Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425 (1886)
just hand them your carry permit with your DL and for you dicks who dont think you have to in your state keep in mind when they run your DL number it will tell the officer if you have a carry permit if you where going to get a warning now your gonna get a ticket if thats how he or she had to find out about it do the right thing and tell the officer even if its not the law its not like they can do anything about it by law and if they do lawsuit :)
@CDCraig99 They don't know by running our Florida plates. Furthermore, not all states require you to inform unless asked by an officer. I pay attention to what state I am in.
This is for people who have a concealed carry license. If you had one you wouldn't mind telling the police about it, and that shows that this applies to none of you. You people who said you might need to use it in self defense against a cop are plain retarded and need your guns taken away. An officer is not going to pull you over and try to kill you. Its never happened.
@LSjeans4 Cops have killed seriously injured unarmed citizens that had burnt flesh all over their bodies with blood everywhere, while they were sitting down bothering nobody waiting for emergency services.
better yet why not have a sticker or badge id on your car that shows you have a weapon on board? that way little jerk offs who think their playing need for speed and try to flip you off think about it twice.
Informing an officer about a concealed weapon is not only a courtesy, but a good idea as well. When the officer sees your weapon when reaching for a wallet or seat belt, the chances of your face being literally melted are reduced when the officer knows you're carrying.
the job of a police officer is to catch you fucking up by any means nessicary without violating your rights. even if that means misinforming, deceiving and even rule-bending. the best defense against arrest is NOT fucking up for they WILL throw the book at you every time. if you do fuck up your best bet is to invoke your 5th amendment right regardless and ask for a lawyer. keep in mind that some cops care about your rights and some care about a good conviction rate.
“Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S.
“An arrest made with a defective warrant, or one issued without affidavit, or one that fails to allege a crime is within jurisdiction, and one who is being arrested, may resist arrest and break away. lf the arresting officer is killed... involuntary manslaughter.”
Why would I surrender my arm to an officer, who is just as capable of a violent criminal offence against my person, or persons as they would allege myself as? Never surrender your arm to the police, its an abrogation of your right to KEEP and BARE arms as soon as they take away your weapon, and violates their Oath of Office, and your unalienable rights to self defense or offence in thee defense of others. Who knows you may actually need to defend your self from the police with that gun or knife.
That guy's advice is plain dumb but why would I be surprised? Tell the half-brain donut-eater who can't really handle the power he was given that you have a gun? And what? Then he attacks you and in court he'll say you threatened them? No thanks.
If you have a concealed carry permit that means you are legally able to carry it, not a criminal so if you tell them they will automatically search you violating your rights.... Does not make sense!!!
In Alaska it is a crime not to tell a cop that you are packing. Remember, in Alaska you don't even need a permit. Anyone eligible to purchase a gun is eligible to carry. If a cop pulls you over or otherwise stops you, you simply say, I am carrying a weapon. He will usually ask you for it. He will take it and hold it or put it on the hood of the car until he is done with his business. He will then hand it back and that is that. A cop has no way of knowing if you are a threat or not.
If I have a gun in my glove compartment and they ask to see my vehicle registration, I will tell them about the gun. If I have it in my console or some other place I don't even mention it.
This is bad advice, period. If an officer stops you & goes through the motions, the first thing he/she will tell is why they pulled you over (ie: speeding). He/she has no right to blatantly ask you what's in your car. That's not the nature of the stop. Unless your gun is w/ your registration, you can respectfully refuse to answer that question as it is not their business what's in your car. If your gun is w/ your registration then tell them to avoid getting shot by an overreacting cop.
I think this is bad advice, unless the local laws require you to declare you're armed. Unless you've committed a crime or a serious traffic offense for which you maybe arrested, it's no one's business that you are legally carrying concealed.
I have talked to cops about this very question and since carrying I have been pulled over twice. Both times I handed over my cpl along with my license and reg. That way the cop can initiate the gun question in a non-threatening(to officer) way. THis is the way cops have answered the question when I put it to them, in a social setting (ie not in the act of being pulled over.)
There is no Constitutional law that says we have to have Police whom are not elected by the people to arrest or detain the people, This is what a police state does not a Republic. The real Law is the Sheriffs they are elected to protect the public by swearing an oath. BUT the Sheriff has drop the ball and has allowed themselves to be comprised of penal codes & Statutes from the Feds to the State law makers undermining their Oath of Office to the public.
So the officer can take appropriate actions to protect themselves? That is very disingenuous, as if the fact someone is carrying that makes them dangerous; by that logic the officer is dangerous. So tell me about the training, or other things that make police officers have more rights then the other citizens of there respective states? Also remind me about all the times when police kill innocent citizens because the are just people who make mistakes also.
@jomo766 It's about information. The cop knows you have a weapon in the glove box, holstered to your leg etc and as long as you don't go lunging for it they will be reasonably relaxed. They are trained to always assume a traffic stop could go wrong, and it's psychologically easier to know what you're facing. Besides, a CHL shows you are a responsible gun owner who is following the law. There are parts of the country where it's still legal to have a gunrack and rifles in your car without a permit
Officers have a tough job... I get it. But, somebody please tell me exactly how anyone telling an officer that they are armed makes the officer safer? Do you think that the guy who WOULD actually shoot an officer is going to say, "Pardon me officer, but I have a gun that I plan to shoot you with." I'm thinking not.
@lowdown068 I'll tell you how it can make it safer, if for whatever reason that cop finds the gun and you 'didn't' tell them about it, they can get real ugly real fast because they feel like you tried to get the drop on them. Imagine he asks for registration and you open the glove box and he sees it, or you get patted down and they find it, or you wait until you're getting patted down to tell them, it can be tense.
The interesting part is that by informing the police officer of the presence of a weapon in a state that does not require you to do so. Does this not open you to a "Request" for a search, all for officer safety? And everything they find is admissible due to the exigent circumstances?
When pulled over by the police it's always best to show respect for the law and obey the officers commands. If carrying concealed at the time of the stop obey the law of the state regarding traffic stops and concealed weapons. The life you save may be your own.
My dad was a deputy sheriff for ten years. He told me to have both hands on top of the wheel where they can be seen, turn my head toward the officer and tell them straight off "Officer, I am armed there is a BLANK and is loaded/unloaded in BLANK." Then to do what the officer instructed to show them the weapon and make it not a threat to them. Been pulled over twice while carrying concealed, did it both times, the officer got nervous but never abused their power.
I have been pulled over 3 times since I started carrying - I notified the officers immediately each time that I was carrying: I have never been asked to surrender or even show my weapon. I have never gotten anything but a positive response because of my upfront notification. When they run your plate they will see that you have a CPL: It is best to avoid the mystery & bring it up yourself.
People, I live in a family of LEO's and this is what you do....DO NOT tell them you're packing unless you want to be face down in the dirt with their gun pointed at your head!! Only tell them if you're being asked to get out of the car. NEVER NEVER NEVER tell them you're carrying on a routine traffic stop. There is just NO need to open that can of worms on an everyday routine traffic stop.
you should already have your carry permit and drivers license in one of your hands, both on the steering wheel.... then tell the cop if you have one in the car or not.
Tell him right away...so he can TAKE IT?? and make a simple traffic stop take all day?? Wait til it becomes relevant to the situation. How many times have you actually been more than just ticketed and on your way?
In my state I don't have to tell them I have a gun so I won't. The real question is, how do I tell a cop I have rights? They never seem to understand that one.
@smalltownrudeboy Letting the cop know you are armed can stop your ass getting shot if the cop happens to see it while you're fooling around in the console/glovebox.
@jcmomo1: apart from what MOJONIXION wrote? Maybe because there's a non-zero number of coppers caught on videos (you'll find some easily on YT) kicking handcuffed women on back of the head, pounding on incapacitated arrestees, using unauthorized deadly force (read: shooting at people without warning or sound reason), giving elder citizens cardiac arrest with tasers etc? And since you're not obligated to - why give a window of opportunity to a possible bully?
luckily in MN we relieved our cops of knowing who carries gun and who don't ( after they sold gun permits exclusively to gangsters and to felons for years). MN statute 624.714
wrong advice. Officer has to initiate the gun conversation. For example: Sir, do you have any firearms in your vehicle?. Otherwise - 5th amendment right.
@wwaalltthheerr Not in Ohio if you have a ccw. If you are carrying you have to tell them right away. If you are not carrying, you dont have to say anything.
@DudeNumberOnePlus Correct, is some sates you have to inform and in some you don not unless asked. In some states, they can't tell by running your plates.
@wwaalltthheerr thats the wrong advice. in wis. its required by law and per your ccw permit that you inform an officer you are carring. same in alaska and most other ccw states. people, if you hold a ccw permit, DONT LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE COMMENTING ABOUT NOT TELLING THE POLICE! they r the reason we get fucked with all the time!
@ehow Thank you, thoes links would be great because i play on a daily basis and I would love to not wind up behind bars or in the ground because a police officer shot me.
Some states have laws on the books mandating CCW permit holders to tell police, immediately, that there are armed. In those cases I'd say that this video services as good advice. In states where there is no such law I wouldn't volunteer that information unless asked directly, if the gun is in the glove box which I need to access, or if I am asked to step out of the vehicle.
If the weapon is exposed on your hip or somewhere else in plain view I'd probably tell them upfront too.
Never offer ANY information to an authority of the local, State or Federal government. Provide only the information relevant to the activity at hand and then only when queried.
This is horrible advice I told an officer i had a weapon once and he literally no joke took it as a threat and pulled his gun on me and made me get out of my car and then searched it without asking
@GODSWORD47 In a sense they should because you went through a back ground check and many would want to keep their cars and family et al --- but I for one would rather have everyone LAWFULLY armed to it's fullest measure with a Christian directive being obeyed --- better to have a majority of Christians with all of Gods laws in their heart exercising their God ordained right for protection than JUST ANY ONE with NO judicial law of righteousness in their hearts making a judgment call
The first rule I always tend to find success with is to never give them a reason to pull you over. Don't speed, drive aggressively, have burned out lights, out of date stickers, California stop, or look at cops funny when they drive by. If you really are a responsible gun owner to begin with, be just as responsible about your road behavior.
@mobieus7 HAHAH that's the problem too a TRUTH issue - because the roads ore for commercial TRAFFIC not an individual exercising the liberty of the way in a normal conveyance of the day.
@ChristianArmorOfGod You need to read the letter of the law again. See how prevalently the word TRAVEL is used. Many states also go as far to define what they mean by travel. Stop confusing opinion with fact when law is concerned.
@ChristianArmorOfGod not sure why you would say that. As long as there is not confrontation and it is a "regular" traffic stop, should not be a problem, correct?
@Lean540 Because of the fallen world we are in - Not wise… the police in general are gaining too much aggression and hatred for truth and don't know their PLACE - they are NOT the master and they can not MAKE LAW up just because they desire --- I could go on - so in short - if the cop is respecting his role and my authority - and does not step over his lawful mandates - then HE does NOT have anything to WORRY about. However if he does cross the line - his blood is upon himself.
@ChristianArmorOfGod I couldn't agree more in almost every aspect. The only way I would alert the officer when stopped is if it was on my person or, If I was legally required to do so, for the very reasons you state. You can see more than a few videos here on yt of serious harrassment once alerted the gun was there. Communicate only what is legally required. These days the bad cops, unfortunetly, are extremely bad and the good stand by as they seem to be outnumbered or, don't care.
Although I did have a ball emptying my pockets on the cops hood once. 4 guns, 2 knives, and 200 rounds later he told me to pick it up and get out of here. Still had 50+ rounds and another gun to go. Nothing like traveling lite sometimes, not even a ticket.
Why do I need to tell an officer I have a gun? If I am just being pulled over for an aledged moving violation doesn't mean I even have to give that officer access to me or my vehicle. I only need to crack the window in a manner that always for the conversation and to hand my license and registration. Other than that I have the right to remain silent.
I see no point of informing a LEO if your state isn't a must inform state. All it will do is waist your time and his. If you are going to be patted down or arrested that's another story, but on a routine traffic stop, why?
I'm fifteen and i was playing air soft in the woods, i saw a police officer and dropped my gun instantly dropped my gun and raised my hands up saying it was an air soft gun, The cop said i should have walked up to him as well, but would that not startle a police officer? Shouldn't you stay where you are?
@xXRawrRichRawrXx To be honest buddy I think you did the right thing. What if he was responding to a report of someone with a gun? What if he didnt see you drop it?
I shoot pidgeons for sport and pest control with an air rifle. I leave my pellet tin open on the car hood and never stray far from it, I keep the barrel broken at all times and safety on until I see a legitimate target and I'm in position. If someone approaches me I just lay the rifle down on the bag or car.
@xXRawrRichRawrXx Yes it is, so long as you are shooting on land you have explicit permission to do so and you are not firing in a way in which either the pidgeon is on someone elses land (unless you have permission on that land too) and the pellet at no point leaves the land on which you are firing or crosses over land which you do not have the permission for. You must not shoot towards, over or near any person, nor are you permitted to fire within or allow your fire to come..
@xXRawrRichRawrXx ...within about 50 feet of the centre line of a public highway IF this causes anyone to become impeded, injured, interrupted or endangered.
ALWAYS carry your gun uncocked, unloaded until you are ready to fire. Mine is a single shot, so I carry the pellet in my hand with the barrel broken until I am ready.
If you are firing and there is a backstop behind the target (pidgeon or other animal/target) then the backstop is where the pellet ends, so dont...
@xXRawrRichRawrXx consider anything beyond that as a problem so long as beyond all reasonable doubt, your pellet wont miss the backstop, go through it or ricochet off and hit someone. You are legally required to dispatch injured quarry as quickly and humanely as possible. If you allow it to suffer while wounded unnecessarily, you are breaking the law, so carry a lump of wood just incase your rifle somehow disintegrates in your hands after you injuring it. Inbox me if you want..
@xXRawrRichRawrXx ...any other information, I am more than happy to help, additionally, I can send you some links with the fine print of all the stuff I told you.
@xXRawrRichRawrXx You did the right thing. Drop you gun. Hands up. Stay put. I'm ex mil mp and I think you did a fine job. I was recently hired for LE work in corrections (not the same as police, but same team... badge included) Once I'm in the network, I'll ask a state trooper sometime what their advice would be and relay it back to the thread. I'm currently a ccw permit holder as well and plan to hand my permit along with my driver's license should such an even occur. I'll get info back to ya.
Handing the police officer my ID's during a traffic stop not only displayed honesty, but got me out of my speeding ticket. In Colorado, I have no problem showing the officer my ID's- makes for a smoother, quicker, experience when crossing paths with LE.
I made the mistake of volenteering that I was carrying a gun in a locked glove box once and the officer took my gun while he wrote me a ticket then wasted more time while he ran the numbers on the gun. Now I carry my car paper work in a clip-wallet on my viser so there in no need to volenteer the information. If a cop asks me if I'm armed I will then tell them.
@MOJONIXION I had that happen to me years and years ago in Colorado (South Park no less). Driving with a holstered 1911 on the dash of the pickup & was pulled over. The officer made a big stink out of it, where was I from, where was I going, why did I need a gun...he took it back to his cruiser and ran the serial number, then came back and gave me a big lecture...to make a long story short, I sat on the side of the road for an hour before he let me go with no ticket.
@MOJONIXION thats exactly why I dont tell someone unless asked, and if asked I will say they do not have my consent to run the serial or to seize my firearm. In most states the mere presence of a firearm carried by someone is not PC to detain someone or mere presence of a firearm to go in and seize it. There have been cases where that has been challenged. State v Jones in GA is a prime example.
@TheBosstrain My gun trumps your ability to tango...every time. Haven't you heard the saying, "That's like bringing a knife to a gun fight." I'm not saying to wouldn't cut me or get in a hit, but you'll need multiple hits to kill me. I need just one hit to stop you.
Look up Hornady Tap Critical Defense .380 rounds. Dudes in lab coats make those specifically for killing arrogant thugs like you.
Well I dont need to worry, because Maryland where I live doesn't issue concealed carry permits, and it sucks balls.

If you have a concealed carry permit that means you are legally able to carry it, not a criminal so if you tell them they will automatically search you violating your rights.... Does not make sense!!!

Always let the gun do the talking.
Wave your pistol in front of the cop and loudly yell, "I've got a gun! I've got a gun!"

In Alaska it is a crime not to tell a cop that you are packing. Remember, in Alaska you don't even need a permit. Anyone eligible to purchase a gun is eligible to carry. If a cop pulls you over or otherwise stops you, you simply say, I am carrying a weapon. He will usually ask you for it. He will take it and hold it or put it on the hood of the car until he is done with his business. He will then hand it back and that is that. A cop has no way of knowing if you are a threat or not.

This is bad advice, period. If an officer stops you & goes through the motions, the first thing he/she will tell is why they pulled you over (ie: speeding). He/she has no right to blatantly ask you what's in your car. That's not the nature of the stop. Unless your gun is w/ your registration, you can respectfully refuse to answer that question as it is not their business what's in your car. If your gun is w/ your registration then tell them to avoid getting shot by an overreacting cop.

I have talked to cops about this very question and since carrying I have been pulled over twice. Both times I handed over my cpl along with my license and reg. That way the cop can initiate the gun question in a non-threatening(to officer) way. THis is the way cops have answered the question when I put it to them, in a social setting (ie not in the act of being pulled over.)

There is no Constitutional law that says we have to have Police whom are not elected by the people to arrest or detain the people, This is what a police state does not a Republic.

BUT the Sheriff has drop the ball and has allowed themselves to be comprised of penal codes & Statutes from the Feds to the State law makers undermining their Oath of Office to the public.

So the officer can take appropriate actions to protect themselves? That is very disingenuous, as if the fact someone is carrying that makes them dangerous; by that logic the officer is dangerous. So tell me about the training, or other things that make police officers have more rights then the other citizens of there respective states? Also remind me about all the times when police kill innocent citizens because the are just people who make mistakes also.
jomo766 1 week ago 3
@jomo766 It's about information. The cop knows you have a weapon in the glove box, holstered to your leg etc and as long as you don't go lunging for it they will be reasonably relaxed. They are trained to always assume a traffic stop could go wrong, and it's psychologically easier to know what you're facing. Besides, a CHL shows you are a responsible gun owner who is following the law. There are parts of the country where it's still legal to have a gunrack and rifles in your car without a permit

Officers have a tough job... I get it. But, somebody please tell me exactly how anyone telling an officer that they are armed makes the officer safer?

@lowdown068 I'll tell you how it can make it safer, if for whatever reason that cop finds the gun and you 'didn't' tell them about it, they can get real ugly real fast because they feel like you tried to get the drop on them. Imagine he asks for registration and you open the glove box and he sees it, or you get patted down and they find it, or you wait until you're getting patted down to tell them, it can be tense.

My dad was a deputy sheriff for ten years. He told me to have both hands on top of the wheel where they can be seen, turn my head toward the officer and tell them straight off "Officer, I am armed there is a BLANK and is loaded/unloaded in BLANK." Then to do what the officer instructed to show them the weapon and make it not a threat to them. Been pulled over twice while carrying concealed, did it both times, the officer got nervous but never abused their power.

Some states have laws on the books mandating CCW permit holders to tell police, immediately, that there are armed. In those cases I'd say that this video services as good advice. In states where there is no such law I wouldn't volunteer that information unless asked directly, if the gun is in the glove box which I need to access, or if I am asked to step out of the vehicle.
If the weapon is exposed on your hip or somewhere else in plain view I'd probably tell them upfront too.

If you really are a responsible gun owner to begin with, be just as responsible about your road behavior.

However if he does cross the line - his blood is upon himself.

@ChristianArmorOfGod I couldn't agree more in almost every aspect. The only way I would alert the officer when stopped is if it was on my person or, If I was legally required to do so, for the very reasons you state. You can see more than a few videos here on yt of serious harrassment once alerted the gun was there. Communicate only what is legally required.

@MOJONIXION thats exactly why I dont tell someone unless asked, and if asked I will say they do not have my consent to run the serial or to seize my firearm.
