Handgun license law?

[SMS]

A well worded note to the boss man that you were told this.....but the statute states this........may generate a Memo to resolve any confusion, if there was any.

Not a bad idea, and you don't even need to give specifics and flame the individual officer...just state that you were pulled over by one of his deputies and it appears some refresher training is required on the SDA notification clause.

Remember the crap sandwich method of presentation, it avoids defensive/hostile reactions:

(Bread) Dear so-and-so, I'm proud of your department and officers etc....

(Crap layer) By the way, the other day X happened and I think it needs to be addressed.

(More bread for complete crap sandwich) Thanks again for your dedication and sacrifice for our community etc....

Why have a license if you don't carry?

Carry ALL the time, or turn in your license.

You should have been armed.

They can tell anyway through databases. I think the SDA permit should be an endorsement on your license. Since you have to show both anyway, why not eliminate one card. Once approved, they give you the paper to take to tag office and get your new license with SDA endorsement.

Bad idea, I don't want everyone I show my DL to, to know I have a CWL.

Im still tryin to figure out how running a DL will bring up a CWL, they are not supposed to be connected

It can be brought up with a NCIC check, or 10-43

It might be helpful if LEO’s would chime in about what they can actually see. The usual story of my cousin’s girlfriend’s brother works for xx and he told me mobile cop shows him xx is never reliable. If you really can see CHL status it’s a game changer for all of us so far as etiquette goes. Heck, I wouldn’t mind if it was an added endorsement on my DL so I could have one less thing in my wallet. Also, is that information readily available just using my license plate info?

I can provide some info. I dont work for a big department so we dont have computers in our units. When dispatch is running a persons info, they are able to access whether or not they have a valid handgun license. It is not brought up on the main NCIC page, but they are able to navigate to the spot. If I remember I will ask our dispatcher exactly what system they get the info from.

i have been pulled over several times while carrying and not carrying by city police.

the times i was not carrying i did not inform and they came back and told me that i had a permit and if i was armed. i say no and that is that.

the times i was carrying i informed them and they were respectful.

never got a ticket.


Then one time i was pulled over by a sherrif it was not a good experience.

the guy treated me like a criminal. i was disarmed. he opened my door. ordered me to grab my gun and unchamber and unload it, all while he pointed a gun at me with my kids in the car. he took it and ran the serial.

Now lets say that he did this for his saftey. HOW IS PUTTING MY HANDS ON THE GUN SAFER THAN KEEPING THEM ON THE STEERING WHEEL OFF THE GUN?

this was almost a year ago but just remembering about it pisses me off. and it was the only time i got a ticket. im sure there is a record of the officer who wrote the ticket. maybe i could call his supervisor. anyone have any ideas?
