Got pulling over OCing

[Jakeiscrazy]

Hey all,

Got pulled over while open carrying tonight for the first time. It went like this.
Officer: Gotcha speeding.
Me: Just to let you know I'm open carrying a handgun on my right side.
Officer:(without a second of consideration) OK license and registration.

I produce those things and he told me to slow down and have a nice night.

Kudos to the officer and the department for being super professional.

Wow... I don't know if I would just throw it out there like that. Might have been a bit more delicate. In any case, glad everything went well.

What jurisdiction? ...I would be shocked if that was Fairfax County.

[MarcSpaz]

Ain't that the truth. When I was doing volunteer work for PWC, I had my windows tinted so people could not see in the vehicle. I regularly had government property or paperwork in my vehicle that I didn't want stolen while I ran in a store or something. It was literally 1% too dark (beyond the +/- allowed) and he gave me a $100 fine. Even after I told him what I did and why the windows were tinted.

Thouse guys a tough. And don't forget Geer! Damn. In Fairfax, yould be lucky to leave alive.

I really have no idea the stop was over before I thought to look. It was on powhite on the bridge. There might be a way to say that with more finesse but sometimes being direct is better.

Glad things went well for you, Jake.

On a side note, it's good to hear from you; ain't seen you around, lately.

YAY! Glad to hear you back, glad to hear you had an easy time.

Listen to the man -

and the men!

Slow down! And stop in from time to time!

[Swampman]

Don't get stopped much, but when I do it's the first thing I tell 'em. They all say the same thing, "Thanks, I appreciate your telling me you are carrying."

Most of 'em just want to do their job and go home. I try to avoid giving them a reason to pull me over in the first place.

The people telling them they have firearms are not the ones they are afraid of.

I have very limited internet now since I have moved. Verizon wont run DSL so it's cell phone network only. Which makes it a little difficult to log on and just pursue the forums on a frequent basis but I just bought a new laptop and am trying to logon more because I miss it!

I just wanted to share this mostly because LEOs get plenty of bad press these days so it's always goo to share the positive experiences.

[Reverenddel]

You know? Even when I'm severely in the wrong. I've only had two bad LEO's my entire life...
