[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2807714, member: 9374"] Which is why it is still unclear and is free and open for interpretation by any and all jackwagons who want to d**k-measure on the side of the road. It really irks me to think that an officer might ask me to remove my legally-carried firearm just because he doesn't like the way I am dressed or the way I look and it makes him "nervous". I understand the concept of officer safety and have had acquaintances and friends who have been shot and both injured [B]and [/B]killed in the line of duty... but that doesn't mean I think it's reasonable to automatically disarm lawful permit holders for a simple "uncomplicated" traffic stop for a minor infraction. A CIVIL infraction, as pointed out above - I'm glad the "speeding is a [B]crime[/B]" argument went by the wayside. That's bullspit. Yes, I am with an officer depending on his instincts. I am also with a citizen standing up for their rights and not being targeted for a more thorough search and/or detainment simply based on their permit status - which, as several have pointed out, is, if not a "completely good guy card," at least an indicator that there isn't a significant history of illegal behavior, more recent events notwithstanding. Just my opinion - multiple sides to every situation, and in this one, I can see more than just my own. [/QUOTE]
