Pulled over with a couple guns

[BIGE7.62]

I was pulled over today for not stopping at a stoplight long enough(turned R on red ) So to make a long story short had a handgun a in my console ,laying on top of my wallet plus one IWB and my AR in the back seat of the truck .When I was asked for my drivers license and registration I told the Officer that I had a hand gun lying on top of my wallet .His response You have a permit "yes" .Well let me see everthing and dont do any any quick movements Please I was given a warning ticket and told thanks for the heads up on the gun . I have to give this guy A big , and yes the officer was about mid 40 to 50 ,seen enough BS to know how to handle things ! +1 FPDP Have to add this remember when they (police ) would take your beer ,than tell your Dad so he could kick your ass , instead of getting arrested ? I sure do miss The AMERICA I knew as a kid ,what use to be fun is now a felony !

Yeah!!! A good post about a LEO.

Thanks for sharing, glad you only got a warning.

It's refreshing to hear of a positive encounter with a LEO. Only a warning, too. Nice!

 

[wrigleycub]

Wow, a warning, that would've caused me to go and buy a lottery ticket.

i would rep for the positive feed back for an leo but im out for 24 hours cause rep pyramid, there has been alot of trash talk about them on here for a couple days.

 

[bassplayrguy]

+1 rep for the positive leo feedback. They are not all bad. We just don't get to pick which one pulls us over.

Thanks for posting about the positive leo encounter. I guess I need to brush up on my rules of the road. I have just been coming to a complete stop before turning right on red if clear. I will have to pause for a while before turning in the future. Did he say how long you have to stay stopped before turning?

Great report.

Very safe interaction and props to the no BS officer who knew how to handle things.

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

As it should be! No need for punishment for a minor infraction and no need for alarm as a legal firearm carrier.

Cool story bro. Now let us see the ASP bruises and boot marks.

No ,but from what I've been told a full and complete stop than a 5 count .Whatever !! Just be legal and dont worry about it . If the LEO is an azz and you have done nothing wrong do everything you can to bust his or her's (said) ball's legaly ,write the the local paper ,call the mayor , hell call channel 6 .Respect goes a long way and that is for everything and everybody !!

Still don't look forward to my first, hope it's with a good one. :-) I know there are many out there.

ALSO,

The law is a stop. If not you can fight it. I'm guessing OP came to a rolling stop otherwise the pullover would be illegal, as far as I understand

Legal or not it all comes down to your word against a LEO ,if someone can prove they didnt do something ,ie ; video ,lot of people who saw it or what ever . I was pulled over at 2 am whats that say !! The whole point is the LEO was cool .He didnt smell pot, booze or what the hell ever and ther was NO BULL**** from either of us ,it went down the way it should have ,Remember TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, dont read to much into things.Whatever it may be !

I was just pulled over on US 31 for that exact same thing about an hour ago!
Between a passenger and myself, we had 3 handguns on us. I said nothing about them.

Given a warning and the whole incident took all of 5 minutes.

Good Cat, there is no such thing as a rolling stop. You are either stopped or still rolling. If you never ceased foreward movement then you never stopped. There is no amount of time that you have to remain stopped. You just have to stop until it is safe to proceed.

Also, to the original poster, you should mention what police department stopped you so they can get the good props.

 

[BIGE7.62]

I did FPDP/look at where I live and what department would FPDP be ?

I also live in Johnson county, but I don't automatically recognize FPDP.
Franklin?

Tried to just highlight the first part of the comment .Glass half full ,Glass half empty. Dont read to much into it 2 am pull over .I think 80% of DUI bust are after 11 pm or 2200 The whole point is a LEO doing his job ,and me doing my part . I didnt have to inform ,but the gun was on top of my wallet .I didnt tell him about the other two guns ,he checked my out ,found me to be on the up an up and away we went !

 

[Bart]

Myself and the 2 other officers in the room with me don't know what FPDP stands for. Perhaps Franklin PD??? Still don't know what FPDP is.

Thats worth sending a anonymous letter to the PD commending the officers for handling the situation in a positive manner.
