[QUOTE="flybeech, post: 1986216, member: 7557"] I agree that courtesy goes a long ways with everyone, including police, so personally, I'm unlikely to tell an officer anything in a belligerent tone. Back in the day, driving my Road Runner, I was a frequent customer. I can't count how many breaks I received by simply treating them with the Golden Rule method. Doug maintained in the most certain terms was never, ever touch the firearm in the presence of a LEO and went on to indicate that touching the gun for any reason can only open the door to the day ending badly. He said that anything might set-off an officer who might already be on edge. He suggested that if they really wanted the gun and it's on your body, he will ask you to exit the vehicle and take it himself. He advised to close the door behind you, to re-enforce the "I don't consent to a search" theme. Doug said that if the officer decides to search your car anyways, don't make a big deal about it then and worry about an illegal search and/or seizure later. I really don't expect any trouble with LEO's, but I want any encounter when I'm armed to go smoothly so both of us can get on our way as soon as possible. [/QUOTE]
