I can also be on my private property and not have to provide squat. Been there, done that.

That is a true scenario also.

Those are all ways to give the supplied info to the officer. State law doesn't require you to carry the pinky, it's just your burden to prove you have one.

just for fun.....someone tell me what charge you would be arrested for if you choose not to show a LEO that you are not breaking the law?

 

[CathyInBlue]

Carrying a handgun without a license.

 

[Dead Duck]

I have been stop twice and just told the LEO my LTCH number. He called it in to verify it and sent me on my way.

You memorized your license number???

Are you a GIRL?

The first four numbers are the year of my first truck. The next two numbers are the year I graduated high school and the last one is zero.

still no one has said charges for not showing a LTCH. i understand the charge if you dont have one but if you choose to buck them and say NO

 

[JMoses]

CathyInBlue and Jack Burton just told you.

No one has claimed there is a charge for not showing a LTC. The charge is for carrying a handgun illegally. This has been repeated many times. If you can't quite catch on the facts by now it is certainly nolt our fault.

It's been said twice, but I figure since you missed it both times, it's worth repeating.


If you refuse, you will be arrested for carrying a handgun without a license. The fact that you have one means nothing DURING the arrest, but no charges will be filed once it is known that you have one.

I look forward to the day this is settled. I have a strong feeling that the justices would side with the OCer. Have I ASKED an OCer if they had a LTCH to appease a complainant who called 911. Yes, it went like this (I didn't bother getting out of my car), "You have a LTCH for that?" Reply, "Yes, you want to see it?" Me, "No sir, you have a good day." Never asked for his name as it was a consensual encounter, quite frankly, I have little to fear from the person who OC's.

This is a perfectly acceptable consensual encounter. As to the last part of your post I would be curious to know Denny, In your profession have you ever heard of someone being shot by a bad actor whom was openly carrying a holstered firearm?

And there my friends is the difference:

Arrested for = ruining your day

Convicted of = serious life altering consequences.

I agree the driver's license argument is valid. You are observed in the act of something that requires a license to do legally. How can it be argued that for one act it's okay for LEOs to stop and check, and the other it is not? The act itself should be irrelevant.

Well, as a matter of fact, I had a homicide where we found the husband standing on the front porch OCing and next to that was his CCW badge. Inside, I cleared the house and found the wife shot to death on the couch. He emptied 2 different handguns into her. He also shot his step so but he was able to escape and call 911. I know what you are asking, and no, we don't get robberies, drive-bys, etc with OCers. This was an outlier case.

I agree with what you said, but unfortunately, until a court rules in favor of OC like it did with driving a car, there is a difference. The difference being what we were discussing earlier: case law.

And this won't happen until we have constitutional carry.

Thanks Denny. I was genuinely curious to hear from someone with some real world experience lest anyone think I was trying to illicit a response to use as a conduit in support of one carry method over another.
