So I got stopped on the Toll Road today, got to make a decision about informing

[SkullDaddy.45]

Why would you ask a donut maker?
But to answer your question, everything anyone tells you about anything should be verified verified verified...
Also, I'm the wrong person to pose this question to... I trust no one.

You mean I shouldn't trust a monkey with the gun?

Ask everything.
Listen to everyone.
Trust no one.
Verify.

Liar. We all know you trust the rabbit.

 

[JetGirl]

Especially not the rabbit.

Silly girl the Doughnut shop is next to your shop isn't it? Although I think you said they are closed.

I'm sorry but your post can't be verified so I can't trust the poster

Right...closed for the last couple of years or so.

I'm sorry but your post can't be verified so I can't trust the poster

Finally, you're starting to get it.

Is there any law saying you have to tell them even if not asked?

You don't have to inform that you are carrying in the state of Indiana. If LEO asks that's up to you. For me I will redirect the question. In Michigan you have to inform right away. In Illnois you only have to inform if ask by a LEO.

I give them my LTCH with my drivers license and registration. Never had an issue.

 

[danbailey24]

nice to hear from someone on the cops side of things. I would think that if I were a cop, I would ASSUME that everyone was carrying. Those guys have thankless jobs. The good ones deserve WAY more money!

 

[Indiana Camper]

Ding ding ding. A good cop will assume everybody has a gun. And if there is one there may be more.

Not exactly. Only if they treat everyone they think has a gun like a law abiding citizen as opposed to disarming them for their safety.

 

[danielson]

Everyone? Really?
Go become a cop, and tell me how long you feel that way.

Why not?

Are you suggesting a default assumption that people aren't armed?

 

[danielson]

Nope.. Its called watching your own ass. I mean its a judgement call, on who perks your defenses. But if you were a cop, and assumed everyone around you was not a threat.. I dont think youd last long.

Right, that's why I was wondering "why not?" to assuming that everyone is armed. I think it wise to do so.

 

[danielson]

I think I misunderstood bunnys post.. I though he was saying that cops should assume anyone they think has a gun, is not a threat. Which I found disturbing.

OK, that makes more sense. I thought it was referring to Indiana Camper's post.

And I do believe the bunny meant something different.

Nothing to see here, folks... move along.

 

[Indiana Camper]

Didn't mean to derail. Just wanted to add that most good cops will assume anybody they are talking to will have a gun. This is not to say they they will treat anybody different. Just that its not like you are doing them a huge favor by letting them know. They should treat you the same regardless.

I've always wondered if we had to tell them we are armed when getting pulled over. My buddy and I got pulled over once and the officer saw my buddies pistol and freaked out. Started breathing hard and yelling at us. Asked my buddy why he didn't tell him he had a pistol. He also said... Because we didn't tell him that we could have been shot
