Got pulled over today for the first time since 1999

[Glock Shooter]

So, like a bonehead I decide to take my wife and 2 daughters, 7 & 3, to the Mile High Marketplace Flea market. It's feeling like 100 degrees by 11am so we pack it up and head out of the parking lot. On the way out it appears that I am following cones in a dedicated lane then I'll make a right turn, with orange cones leading me out. What I didn't see was the stop sign and lucky for society there was a Commerce City Police officer waiting there for me. He followed me through the intersection, I made a left to get onto 76 and he lite me up. I'm carrying my Ruger LCP in my front pocket. I rolled down the windows keeping my hands in as plain view as possible. He asked me if I knew why he stopped me, I said no. He said I failed to come to a complete stop back there. I provided my license, registration, and oh shit, expired auto insurance. He ran everything, at no time did he ask if I was carrying and I didn't offer anything other than what was asked of me. He let me go with a warning on the stop sign so no points, but I have to send in proof of insurance showing that I was valid at the time of the stop.

Overall he was professional and courteous.

I bet you're butt was Puckering!! Had that happed to me once, Not on my person but layin on the seat, in a case. He didn't ask and I didn't tell. Ass pucker factor +100.

Why are you worried about having the pistol if you are licensed to CCW?

Was your dog in danger at any time?

I was wondering the same thing.

Maybe that Ohio video scared you? Nothing to worry about with a cow. There is no law to provide the info and depending on your county they already know if you have a permit or not when they pull up your plate as long as the car is in your name

[Inspector Fowler]

If it makes anybody feel any better we (the cops) got notice not long ago that the file linked to CCIC is about to be purged and we will no longer get notices of people who have CCW permits.

It's also worth noting that in almost 4 years of patrol work so far I have yet to contact a CCW holder for anything more negative than a minor traffic violation.

[Irving]

You shouldn't have been worried about having the pistol, CCW or not. I've been pulled over while carrying without a CCW.

He probably didn't give you a ticket because you weren't on public roads when you didn't stop for the stop sign.

That's good, in 10 years of packing I have only been pulled over a couple times and no problems here or Las Vegas. Most cops up here are good people, I deal with a lot of them at work.

The first time I opened carried, my heart was beating through my chest. After doing it for a while that feeling went away. I can see you being nervous even though you are 100% within your rights and legal. Anyone who says different is bullshitting.

The other thing is in CO you can CCW on private property and that includes your personal vehicle.
