I have a question on LEO's reasonable search of your car because you have a ccw but don't have your gun on you. My wife just took her CCW class Friday and one thing the guy told about was that by the time your tag is run and you pull over a "C " is by your name meaning you have a CCW. He told of how when asked if he had his gun on him and he said no. The cop didn't believe him and said he was lying and that was probable cause to search his car. This is third hand info and I wasn't at the class so I don't know how accurate this is but it is the nuts and bolts of the idea. This always has been a question I've had: What would stop them from just saying whatever the want to fit the situation in order to search your car?

That scenario doesn't make sense. No law was broken. There is no probable cause to search a vehicle for a firearm just because someone doesn't have one with them. If that happened to me it would tick me off and I'd demand a search warrant!

In Florida the fact that you hold a CCW does not show up when they run your plate or your driver's license although I think perhaps your wife may want to re-take the course from someone who actually knows any of the information.
I belong to a fourm for NRA Instructors. One of the recent discussions was about inconsistancies and misinformation in instruction by FL instructors. It's sad, but there are a lot of folks out there who for whatever reason provide faulty or outright wrong information in their classes.
Finding another instructor wouldn't be a bad idea. It could be the difference between learing the right info and staying out of jail and getting bad info and losing your 2A rights.
