My first "Official Contact" with Peace Officer while carrying

<< < (2/6) > >>

SemperFiGuy:
What's cool with the Forum here is that different behaviors from different LEOs regarding their handling of CHP/CCW cases get posted and read by Forum members who carry.

Takes some of the mystery out of the process and helps us deal with our own individual LEO encounters when they happen.

Geez.....the LEO never looked into the box.   Definitely not a Gun Voyeur.

Here is what I experienced and put in another thread:

I was recently in a fender bender in Omaha.  A young driver rear-ended me.  An OPD officer showed up to take the report and got the other driver's info first.  He then walked up to me.  I was standing outside the car with registration, driver's license, proof of insurance and my carry permit on top.

He said, "Hello," and I simply said, "hi, I need to let you know I have a permit to carry and I'm armed."  He took all the documents and handed by my CHL without looking at it.  His response was, "good for you. Thanks for letting me know."

He didn't ask what I was carrying or where, let alone ask me to surrender the gun.  It was a pretty positive experience, other than the need to replace my rear bumper.

FarmerRick:
Not meaning to go off on a tangent here, but...

Why was your gun locked in a gun vault making it inaccessible as your were driving?
Why would you not have said gun vault attached to your vehicle to help prevent it's theft?

Just trying to understand your reasoning for this.

I have come in official contact with OPD twice while carrying and each time the officer seemed like they could have cared less.  Although the one jokingly said as long as you leave it where it is we won’t have a problem. 

Mike M.:
I would say your encounter was positive and most likely was the officers preference to dis- arm you. I also have to agree with FarmerRicks questions.
