In Indiana it's best to just keep your permit handy but don't let them see it. Them knowing anything about even a possible firearm can only make things worse.Just cause I'm me...anyone know the date this happened?
Way back when I picked up my LTCH, spent some time looking for the proper way to handle getting pulled over while carrying. Seemed the universal response was to just hand the permit over when you hand over your drivers license, but refrain from stating you were carrying until asked by the LEO.
I was a police officer for 10 years. All I can see is this officer is to scared to handle his job.
What is accidental exposure?
So tell us WHY you were ONLY an officer for 10 years???
In some states/localities if you are issued a concealed carry permit it means exactly that. Any exposure or sometimes even printing is enough for them to arrest you for brandishing.
Lack of pay and respect for the service would be #1 in my book. Not an easy job and it probably (in today's world) feels like nothing you do makes a difference. If you are a Leo to truly make a difference vs. it's just a job then there are different driving forces. IMO of course!
That cop is being more than a little jumpy. He was not being threatened in any way. Yes, the motorist should have stayed in the car but arresting him for showing after threatening to "shoot (him) in the ****ing back" goes way beyond what is acceptable conduct for any LEO. I generally support LEO but this guy deserves to lose his job.
