I was stopped for rolling through a stop sign. As always I was very polite to the officer and he gave me a verbal warning. He told me he was looking for punks.
He asked to see my license, and when I reached for my wallet he may have seen my spare magazine or may have been informed by dispatcher that I had a LTCH or it could have been the NRA sticker on the back of my truck.
The next thing he asked me was, Are you carrying a pistol?
I said, yes sir.
He said, you have to inform us.
Not according to the law I don't.
Yes You do You are supposed to inform us.
ME, according to Indiana Code.....
Him, (with raised voice) Are you listening to me? I can take you to court.
I looked at him incredulously.
He said, for running a stop sign. Do you want a ticket for running a stop sign.
No sir.
He handed me back my ID and said you can go. Got back in his car, and drove off with out waiting for me to leave safely. He had his lights and siren on to pull over someone else before he had passed my car.
Hopefully for the police officer that offender is not an INGO member!
I am not sure but I think I won that one.
BTW I started my voice recorder immediately when pulled over and e-mailed the recording to myself for posterity.
