Ohio cop praises driver for having his CCW during traffic stop.

I don't get pulled over anymore, can't afford it.

The last time a LEO and I discussed my carrying of a pistol was last summer, quite hot out so I was open carry, went into King Soopers for some stuff. He was behind me in the self checkout and he commented that he liked my 1911 and my rig, asked if it was a Springfield, I said no, its a Colt. He said cool gun and that was it. But I was older than him so maybe he thought I was responsible or something.

The more of us that carry, in any way and as long as we are not jerks about it, the less I believe that we will be hassled in the long term. Eventually the "man" will get it (with a few exceptions, there are always exceptions).

Stay safe out there guys and gals.

I get pulled over occasionally, have been pulled over twice when carrying. Both times I informed the Officer immediately upon his approach, both times the Officer's attitude immediately changed to the positive and did not get a ticket either time.

totally agree..

ive been pulled over a few times with guns in the car. one time was after a shoot with a bunch of you guys out at the farm with RW. (which isn't there anymore). cop asked me where I was coming from, told him shooing, gave me a very minor ticket, and was pretty cool about everything.
