Notify peace officer question...

(1/3) > >>

RobertH:
hypothetical situation.... my wife (non-CHP) gets pulled over.  im the passenger (front seat or back seat) and i'm carrying.  do i have to tell him right away or wait until he asks for my license?  i know i have to notify upon contact, but in this situation, when does contact occur?

SemperFiGuy:
Two Possibilities:

(A)  Very Narrow Construal of the Word "Contact"
CHP holder does not say anything at all about handgun.   Until 20 minutes later in the stop when the officer--for whatever reason--directly speaks to the CHP holder and then finds out the fact and presence of the handgun.


(B)  Rather Broad Construal of the Word "Contact"
CHP holder informs office immediately of handgun.


Neither the law nor the regulations are totally clear here.    But......were it I.....the option of choice would most definitely be Option B.

I have always wondered also, (I have yet to need to) I've always figured I too would lean toward option B.  Of course, when I'm with family the officer would be handed multiple permits. ;)

But.... what if... You are with folks that; 1. don't know you carry/are carrying, and/or 2. don't need to/ rather not have them know your CHP status?  I wonder if a fella could just slip the officer your permit and hope that he would ask you out of the car to discuss your status away from others?
Like say I'm on an outing with youth group, traveling, I really don't need the kids or  the parents knowing.

 IDK, just thinking aloud.

Good chance that if its in Ralston that they may disarm you while the stop is happening. This happened to me a while back when my car broke down and I was just waiting for my wife, I also know another person that was disarmed while stopped so It may be some sort of procedure in that jurisdiction.

Ralston does have a Mayor that is a member of MAIG.
