I was traveling on Giles & 96th through the intersection (ran the yellow and it changed to red while I was still in the middle of the intersection). Papillion cruiser pulled me over. Older Cop, real nice. I notified him right away, let him know it was in the glove box and he was cordial and just said ok may i see your license. So i handed him permit & DL and then he needed to see my insurance and registration which is in the glove box under the gun. So i told him it was in there. Again he was friendly, asked what I carry and said its ok just go ahead and "take it out and put it on the floor below for me". So i did and handed him the documents. Everything went smooth and he only gave me a warning so i got off easy that day :)

The first time i got pulled over was two years ago and also in Papillion. That encounter also went smooth so my experience with Papillion PD has been very good so far. Very professional officers i have dealt with and I'm thankful for their cordial treatment. They never did disarm me, even with this encounter i offered to put it in the holster and hand it to him but he was ok with it being on the floor.

I grew up in Papillion, and I can honestly say their officers have always been good, down-to-earth, friendly and professional. Now that city next door to Papio.......... Don't know what happened there  :-)

Every time I see these kind of safety or drug checks, my mind goes to some communist country.  I think they have a tendency to desensitise us to being stopped,checked or searched...after all it may catch a drunk or worse...a little loss of freedom where the ends justify the means...what, are you trying to hide something?

I agree, it is considered 3rd world citizen control tactics as far as I'm concerned. The only thing good that comes out of it is that it justifies employing more cops to control the people.

I would not consider that a good thing....

armed and humorous:
In nearly five years of carrying with a CHP, I have only had one official contact with an LEO while I was carrying.  It was a county sheriff's deputy (Saunders I believe).  He stopped me for going too fast on Hwy 6 near Ashland.  The road was freshly paved.  I was looking for an unfamiliar road going north to Mead, and I didn't realize I was going about 60 (the normal speed limit) in a 50-mph construction zone (no workers present).  He approached and asked for my license and registration, and while I was getting them out, I told him I had a CHP and was carrying.  He acknowledged my statement, but didn't seem to care at all.  He didn't ask to see my permit or my weapon.  When I told him I was distracted because I was trying to find my way north to Mead to act as a volunteer communications operator (ham radio) for a bicycle race and didn't realize how fast I was going on the fresh, smooth pavement, he issued me a warning and told me how to get where I was going.

In my humble opinion 99% of LEOs will not hassle you in any way about a CHP (or anything else) unless they suspect you of some wrong doing, or you don't treat them with dignity and respect.
