What did you receive in the mail today for your Ranger?

[OFC Ranger]

If he was pulled over, they’d see the interior with all it’s tactical and comms gear, the badge would be out, and I’m sure Jack would be on his way.

While its extremely rare that I've been stopped (I think last time I got pulled over was nearly 5 years ago) I don't badge drop. I do announce I have my off-duty weapon on my persons as a courtesy (though not required in GA for anyone to announce a weapon) as I offer my standard DL and vehicle information. Of course this leads to the same question every time, "Where do you work?"

I also out of courtesy always roll down the driver side passenger window (due to tint), which at this point as you mentioned, probably grab their attention with all the doo-dads present with my back seat delete.

Same procedure for me. Although...

...I had been pulled over a number of times in my "UC" vehicle. Sometimes a quick flash of the lights would quickly resolve the issue. Sometimes upon first contact, when they saw me wearing body armor with a rifle in the truck and the police radio going, all was okay.

Had a black suv go hauling ass down our main road late one night a few years back. I forgot GBI was working in the area for something. Yea they quick blipped me before I had a chance to even turn mine on.

I was slow rolling through an area looking for an business to pick some things up from, and my slow driving caught the attention of the local Five-Oh. After he fell in behind me, I could see him trying talking on the radio. Now he's on the computer. Back on the radio. Looking frustrated. And themn it happened - lights and sirens.

I pulled over, blipped the lights on and off, as he was walking up to the truck. He was laughing so hard when he saw me. He said he saw me driving slow through the area and that got his attention, and when he ran my tag, it wasn't returning. Yep - UC tag! HAHAHA

So a question for you fellas...

I have a CCW license and frequently carry.

It has been a loooong time since I was pulled over, but if/when I do get pulled over, I would like to know the preferred procedure to let the officer know I have a weapon and put them at ease that I'm not a threat.

I have the utmost respect for our LEO and want to make their job as stress free as possible.

I've always said, "Hey officer/deputy/sergeant, just as a courtesy to you, I want you to know I'm a conceal carry permit holder and I have a weapon on my person/in my vehicle."

And as a side note, when I was on patrol and people told me that, 2nd ammendment conversation ensued and they didn't leave with a ticket. ?

Here in TN you don't need a permit so just assume everyone is armed. I still keep my permit and also recommend one so you can carry legally in other states that recognize yours. Most people tend to tell you though and when people ask I tell them you're not required to inform here but I would as a courtesy and also so it becomes habit if you're traveling and it's require to inform there. Because some guys are wired waaaay too tight IMO and if you're in one of those places and don't tell them...well you know

No CCW needed here either. I got mine for the same reasons so I can carry just about anywhere while traveling. There's only a handful of states that don't recognize AZ permit but I'm sure you can guess which ones they are.

Not required in GA either, but having it means you've been through the background checks and been vetted to a certain extent.

I think that would help ease the officer's mind about you as a potential threat.

Plus the reciprocity with other states can be very important.

I live in Georgia so I don't need to know you have your CW on you.

My motto is easy, dont touch yours and I wont touch mine.

Firearms are as normal as bread and butter here. If my ticket is going to be punched its going to be punched, I don't spend every interaction on the street worrying about if someone has a gun on them. Some may call that being complicit, but most cops will tell you we have internal spidey-senses that work when they need too.

Same here in TN. don't have to inform but it'll come back when you run the D/L but since you don't have to have a permit anyway here, just treat everyone like they're armed, like in the movie Shooter. "Welcome to Tennessee, patron state of shootin' stuff"
A person behavior determines more how things are going to go not if they have a permit or not.

 

[pbethel]

You mean a ccw permit won't help if I am a total a$$hole?
That's not fair.
