[QUOTE="flybeech, post: 1985813, member: 7557"] [URL="http://dougfriesen.com/"]Doug Friesen[/URL] gave an interesting talk and Q&A at H&H prior to November 1st to prepare us for the extension of our 2A privilege. If I got nothing else out of the little seminar, the best thing I recall was how to deal with a traffic stop, or other encounter with LE.

I haven't had a ticket in over 30 years and have managed to have minimal police contact, but that is no guarantee of a future contact. I just want to be sure that any contact I have with LE is peaceful and as brief as possible, but I do not want to surrender any of my remaining rights in a stop. Would most agree that Doug's advise to never, ever touch your firearm in police presence and informing the officer that you do not consent to any search or seizure is the best advise, or could failure to give consent to search and question at will, serve to anger the officer and make things much more difficult for the detainee? Also, many in the seminar asked what to do if the officer ordered the detainee to hand over the weapon, to which he replied again and again "never, ever touch your firearm in the presence of a police officer" and "never, ever consent to any search". How would the others here handle a routine traffic stop with a police officer while lawfully armed, or what would you add to Doug's basic advise for the stop? [/QUOTE]
