Obviously if they ask, then tell them, but I wouldn’t offer any information they aren’t seeking. We’ve seen how that has caused problems in the past. I keep my registration and insurance in a visor so I’m not fumbling for it. My license is in my wallet, along with a spare insurance card. I almost always have it all in hand before they can get to my window.

One time a cop got to me as I was pulling my license out. He saw my carry permit. He asked if I had my piece with me (his words). I said yes. He had backup before he brought me my ticket. I have since hidden my carry permit within my wallet so that doesn’t happen again.

About that way in my area of NY (really aren’t even required to tell them) but NYC is…..well it’s the reason we have Bruen amongst other things.

That’s right, FDLE doesn’t have access to the concealed carry database. Last time I got pulled over (friend was driving, ran a red light), the deputies asked if we were armed. I answered in the affirmative, said I had a valid CC. They asked me to keep my hands visible, then ran my friends information. Came back a few minutes later and told my friend my honesty saved him getting a ticket.

How different Florida is compared to NY.

In Florida, a typical traffic LE interaction is met with bored nonchalance and something like, “If you don’t touch yours, I won’t touch mine…” 😉

I thought there already wasn’t a leg to stand on, yet they arrested him anyway?

“…he did the responsible thing as a permit holder, informing the officer that he had a licensed weapon in his glove box.”

I don’t think we should do that unless it’s required by law. That seems to cause more problems. Why do we have to tell them anything?

He should be able to have this arrest record expunged. Obviously, they should pay for his attorney, etc. I assume they’ll settle.
