idmaster - thank God for cops like you. It gives me hope for the future. As far as the debate with KevDen2005, that illustrates how cops are conditioned to think, “I'm a cop and what I say is the law.” However it is enlightening to hear your opinions KevDen2005. I hope you don't hide them from us. I don't otherwise have any insight how real cops think.

I'm definitely for more open carry. It will re-condition everyone to get used to the fact that it's our right to own guns. And we're not a bunch of nuts.

I was in a minor car ascendent recently. I do have a CCW and was carrying in my truck which has lots of pro gun and anti obama stickers. After getting my ticket handed to me the officer was very polite. He said, I wish we could have met in better circumstances. Yes sir, me to. Do you have a gun? Yes sir. As a courtesy please let the us know you have a gun.

He told me the other guy also had a gun. The officer was very polite and young. But my CCW instructor recommended against telling cops you have a gun.
