Concealed Carry and contact with Law Enforcement
Hoot:
I was stopped today by a city police officer and issued a ticket for speeding. I have a concealed carry permit but I was not carrying at the time of the traffic stop. When the officer asked me to sign the ticket, he said he noticed I had a CCW permit and he wanted to know if I was carrying. I replied no and told him I knew that if I was carrying, I am required to notify him in the state of Nebraska. Does anyone know if it is common practice for law enforcement to ask this?
SemperFiGuy:
Haven't heard of any LEO asking a non-notifying CHP holder about presence of a handgun, such as you described. However, certainly could happen, as in your case.
As you indicate, notification isn't required in Nebraska when not packing. However, many non-packing CHP holders will still voluntarily notify the LEO up front as a courtesy that they are not packing simply to clarify the situation and avoid possible complications during the traffic stop.
Interesting YouTube Video:
LEO stops a citizen in another state who is packing. Citizen tries to tell LEO about handgun; LEO screams (in effect) "SHADDUP!!!!".
Then LEO goes absolutely total freak-out ballistic when he learns of the handgun.
Worth a look.

Yeah, Good Point.
I sorta left it all hanging there. And knew I'd dunnit.
So--later went looking for that particular video and didn't find that particular one in the time available on this particular holiday.
But....No Biggie.
As an alternative, simply Google <Crazy LEOs>. Which will be a very sobering set of views, indeed. No intent here to smear good cops as being "crazy". Not at all. But what comes up in response to that search string will give us all a new perspective on the Mean Streets portion of the justice system.
In the meantime, I'll try to find the original video. It's really scary. Those folks have handguns, ARs, shotguns, pepper spray, mace, handcuffs, tasers.....all that.
When their Protect and Serve attitude goes to hell, the citizen is in serious jeopardy.

OK............a little more search found this Little Gem.
It speaks--shouts, actually--all by itself.
Wouldn't want to have been the subject of all that focused attention.
