Maybe 5 times.After reading thru several related and unrelated threads, I've picked up on a recurring topic--how to respond when carrying while driving and getting pulled over by LEO. From the various responses, it would seem that USACarry posters are amongst the most pulled over population in the country.
I don't think that's true but I get that impression because the topic is brought up so much. Is it really a common problem for gun carriers?
I'm almost 65 years old, have lived and driven in several states, and at times commuted daily in horrendous traffic. I've never been pulled over for any reason. The closest thing to being pulled over was stopping for traffic stops where LEO set up at random sites to check everyone's licenses, insurance and registration (and I suppose check for sobriety as needed). I think I've done that once or twice. I've been thru a few random gate checks at military bases. That's it.
So, my question is, how often have you been pulled over by any LEO?
Not once in over 25 years. I don't drive like an idiot though so that could be part of the reason.
Driving like an idiot isn't the only thing one can get pulled over for.Not once in over 25 years. I don't drive like an idiot though so that could be part of the reason.
I don't like those stops either.Are there "show me your papers" roadblocks where you live though? They might call 'em "DUI Checks" or "Driver's License Checks," but in any case it's still being stopped by cops, and I'm pretty sure they happen in every state in the Union. If that's not true, I would actually think about moving. Those kinds of stops gall me to no end.

Worse are the gate checks at military bases. Everyone (all passengers) have to show ID's, and they inspect everything (opening the trunk, looking in back seat, etc.).
Worst though is driving a commercial vehicle on base. Hubby drives a commercial van in his business. Whenever he has to go on base he and van get x-rayed in addition to being searched and mirrored.

Oh, I understand it; it's just no fun. It used to be that Hubby and I having our military ID's was enough to get onto bases but not always true now.On post is different. The terror threat creates a legitimate reason to emplacement security measures for access to a military installation
