Thanks, thats what I figured "on demand" meant, just wasn't sure. Yes, I am in Florida.
I was always told that if I get pulled over, to hand the officer your drivers license and insurance when they ask, along with my CWP...then immediately tell them, "I'm giving you my CWP also and I want to inform you that I am carrying right now."
Might as well tell them up front, if they find out later, even though we do not have to inform them, who knows what some cops will do. Only thing thats a gamble is running into that cop that wants to make a big deal of it even if you do inform them.
Thats life I guess.
Best case scenario, the officer will tell you to leave the weapon where it is, and rely on the statistics against a CWL holder pulling a gun on a cop. Bad case, the officer directs you to dis-arm and he will retain your weapon through-out the stop. Worst case, the cop will dream up a reason to keep your weapon (i.e. Make/Model match one used in a crime. You can pick it up at the station later)
Like this?I don't remember which forum I saw it on, but having a recorder in your vehicle is a good idea. For police stops, accident cases, road rage, lots of reasons.
In Arizona, you are requiired to inform any police officer you have contact with that you are armed and have a permit. I know when I pulled a car over, I was going through a mental checklist to make sure I did and said everytihng just so. The last thing I wanted was to hear some brain-dead guy blurt, "I have a gun." When I had left the department and had a CCW permit, I always dreaded telling officers I was legally armed, as their reactions ran the gamut of me seeing the business end of their weapon to, "Let's see your permit." Usually, they asked where the gun was located, then told you not to move as they took the gun off of you and tucked it in their duty belt until they ran an NCIS/ACIS check on it, then before ending the contact, they would unload the weapon and hand you the weapon and ammo and tell you you could leave now.
LOL, nice video. But what the hell was with the clicking man i almost had to turn the sound off lol. With some police the Badge goes to there head and they think they can do what ever they want. I would like to know what happened to this officer.
OK, if the cop does take your gun and put it in his paints. What happens if it goes off and he shoots him self with your gun? It's a long shot BUT don't give me some crap that would never happen.
