I was just confronted by a cop on my CCW.

[To Bear Arms]

In the several years that I've a CCW I have been pulled over for this or that a bunch of times. Every time I gave the officer my DL and CCW at the same time and I never had a problem. I figure they'd rather know before it pops up on their computer - it'll just make them nervous I imagine. Never once did the officer ask to see my weapon or anything.

I used to always do this till one night I got pulled over handed him both ID's and told him where I had it on me and he freaked out and said why the Fu%$ are you telling me that! I politely said I was told it was common courtesy so when you look up my DL you didn't have to "wonder" if i had it on me. He said I don't care if you have it or not! I said sorry... he gave me a ticket. three months later he was shot while on duty! It wasn't me though. I don't tell them anymore.

If that happened in NY they probably would've proned you out at gunpoint.

And I would guess it was that apathy that got him shot.

The last time I volunteered that information the officer drew her gun on me, ordered me out of my car with my back towards her, down on my knees, and hands behind my head. She then removed my gun took it back to her car and told me to get in mine. When she was finished writing my ticket (speeding) she gave my gun back to me field stripped and told me not to re assemble it until she left.

I have not volunteered that Information since, and have not had an issue.

Totally uncalled for and I would be livid if some numbskull field stripped my firearm. I think I would have called for a supervisor and I would also be curious to know if she was a qualified armorer.
I think I would have filed a formal complaint.
Abusive and power hungry twat is what she sounded like.

You know when I first got my CHP I asked a few officers from different agencies what they would like to see from a holder if contacted. Answers ranged all over from the board from "yes I appreciate knowing and thanks" to "hell no, I don't care and don't want to know" and everything in between.
FWIW I have been pulled over twice for minor violations(expired plate and headlight out) since getting it and in both instances provided my permit along with all pertinent information. Both times the officers were cool and thanked me, one asked where it was and requested I keep my hands on the wheel and the other asked that I unholster, unload and place the weapon on the dash. Both ran me through the computer and returned my paperwork.
The one that had me unload and dash my MicroCompact asked to check it out and was kind of enamored with it, he really liked it.
No citation in either case was issued.
Both watch supervisors received a phone call commending the officers conduct during the contact.
Even ended up doing night sights for the one officer who liked my MicroCompact(gave him a business card when all was said and done)

That incident was about 10 years ago after I had just received my permit. At the time I was furious but didn't even think about contacting a supervisor or filing a complaint. Older (and wiser?) now and definitely would if it ever happened again.

Same here! About 10 years ago headlight out, speeding, proof of insurance(had it just not the current card) and I got a ticket for all of it!

During my classes they recommended that you don't tell. Said that if it is an anti-gun cop the odds of you getting a ticket go way up and it could lead to other problems with the officer.

I was pulled over and had an officer state that they see in their system that I have my CCW. Wanted to know where the gun was and all. Didn't ask to see it and didn't seem overly concerned about it. Said to leave it where it was at and politely sent me on my way.

I got dinged by a CSP bike cop on 470 by 285. 73 in a 65 and no seatbelt. I pulled over and into the dirt, so he had the entire shoulder and then some. IIRC, he came to the passenger side anyway. I gave ID, ccw, insurance, title. He had me get out, keep my hands where he could see them and walk over to him. Placed my hands behind my head and he held both my thumbs with one hand while disarming me with the other. Told me to go wait in my truck.

Came back with the seat belt ticket. "Here's your gun (slide locked back), mag, and Barney bullet" Don't gut it back together until you're gone. This was about 8 a.m. on a Monday morning.

Wow the two stories about disarming are downright ridiculous. Any cops on here know why that would be done? Especially when it is the permit holder who offered up the knowledge?
i see the pros to telling and possibly getting out of the ticket but if my son had to watch that I'd be fucking furious.
