When a cop pulls you over for BS and then wants to talk about you being drunk at 2am, how is it that they are cool. Sounds like some d bags to me.
I've only had one bad stop while caring and that was by a colorado state trooper. He disarmed me and then dropped a $1000 1911 onto the gravel shoulder.
Every other time they ask if I have a permit and that's it. Shouldn't even ask for the permit in colorado seeing as you don't need it.
This has happened to me the past 3 times I've been pulled over (All for speeding). I let them know there's a gun in the car, where it is, and that I have my CCW. They relax then ask if I have any AR's (Due to the AR stickers on the back window) and we end up just talking about AR's and other guns for the next 5 minutes and I'm let off with a warning every time. Castle Rock cops are alright with me for now
The last time I gave an officer my CCW card, he got mad at me for not telling him earlier. "Why were you reaching all over the car, THEN tell me you have a gun?" <-- That's exactly why. I needed to find my stuff without Officer Jumpy freaking out about a gun the whole time.
I know some folks like to notify the officer as a courtesy, but I've been pulled over a few times and never once mentioned anything about a gun in the car, as it's not required in Colorado. Never had anyone freak out or anything, I was courteous and the stop went smooth.
You can't satisfy everyone. Do what you believe is the safest thing for the given situation.
Be safe.
This^^^ never had bad stop, so far.Quote:

That whole experience was odd, I had no idea he was an agent until we got off the elevator to go to his office and saw the "FBI Field Office" sign on the door. Helluva nice guy though.
Rondog, sounds like the same guy I bought a Colt from. He was FBI from the Glenwood office and he had business in Breckenridge so he met me in Frisco. We sat in his car and talked for quite a while, real nice guy. I don't recall if my CCW ever came up it was in 2010 and I have slept since then.
[QUOTE=Big E3;1836425]Could be. I know it was an odd feeling buying a rifle in a FTF transaction with no BGC, from a Federal LEO, in a Federal LE Agency office.....great little Winchester .44 Trapper though! Got my first deer with it.Quote:

No idea, other than to cover the western slope. He said there was only two agents, spread pretty thin.Quote:
