Default Calm Down!

Sac county i believe did change their permit to say must inform officer your carrying. I dont understand a officer that is angry that you did not tell them immediately. A sheriff, a life scan and a instructor approved by the county trusted you to be safe and professional with the permit. A ccw is nothing easy to get. It takes money, time and trust. There is a process you need to pass to receive it. I never heard of a permit holder pulling a gun on a officer in uniform. The sheriffs department trusts the citizen enough to give one to the individual. Also not once did i ever have a officer tell me about his back up gun he is concealing when he came up to me. They are the same people that are trusted by the same people that give citizens their permits. We are all the same. If your going to be frisked then by all means tell them but if its not a requirement of the permit then keep it to yourself. Its hidden for a reason. Keep it that way!

If the thread continues long enough, someone will eventually ask in all seriousness where to get one of those.

I'm currently in process in Placer County. My instructor stated that as of March 1, 2013, Placer County permit holders are required to state their status whether armed or not. The reasoning is if stopped by city police or county sheriff, they likely will have accessed the county database which will show your permit status. If CHP, they most likely will not access county database.

Decide for yourself whether to disclose your LTC/firearm. I have been a LEO for many years now and I would appreciate the disclosure, although it may not be required.

Now, I know that people on this site will encourage an adversarial attitude and tell you not to say anything. It is your call. I can carry a gun anywhere and do, but when I have been stopped I always announce that I armed because I don't want to get shot by a jumpy officer. I don't expect people that haven't walked up on hundreds of cars to understand, but it is the best way to go.

On the contrary to creating a mountain out of a molehill, I would see the presentation of a LTC as credentials belonging to someone who has training and knows & operates within the law. Gangbangers and parolees do not possess LTC's. These are the people I worry about. Not regular folks exercising their rights

I've been carrying for years and have only been stopped once. When I'm driving my weapon is in no way visible to a LEO so I do not disclose. If I was asked to exit my car I would then disclose but there would be no legal reason for that anyway since the only reason for me to be pulled over would be for a minor traffic stop. As mentioned many times in the thread it's up to you.

You should be aware that you CAN be ordered out of the vehicle within the context of a 'routine' traffic stop.

Well, I have been an LTC holder for the past ten years or so. My recent AFS report has no indication anywhere that I am an LTC holder. I would have expected it to be disclosed if that were the case.

Did you get the full report? or did you simply send the form (notarized?) for the report of firearms and/or assault weapons registered to you?

The only other thing I can think of is that you're issuing agency isn't submitting the records to the state...

Yes, I did just send in the notarized request for firearms listing. I didn't know there were other AFS documents. Can I request them as well?

Understood. Even if I had to exit the car the LEO still wouldn't see my weapon. If he/she decided that I needed to be searched then I would disclose at that time. I've been driving for 38+ years been stopped many times during that time and I have never been searched or have I ever given the police any reason to search me. Come to think of it I've never been asked to exit my car. I've just been lucky. I'm sticking to non-disclosure at this time. It really comes down to a case by case bases and personal preference. I did ask the my issuing agency about disclosure and I was told I did not have to.

Still hard to figure why anyone would choose not to advise.

Look at it this way, letting the officer know that you have a LTC could be seen as a good PR move. The more officers that are aware that they are contacting a person with a LTC, the more of them there are to combat the FUD when people start badmouthing people that have or want one. You now have officers that can say, "you know, I have contacted several people that have a LTC and they have never been a problem."

They aren't really any documents, its just a database of information for pretty much everything firearms related.

I suppose you could issue a Public Records request for all AFS information pertaining to you're name - I'm not sure if that would work or not.

It's not even close to "just like" asking for a search or your destination...

It's more of a courtesy to the cop who'd definitely prefer no surprises.

Do you think that a CCW is so relatively rare in CA it acts like a brass pass?

Could an officer possibly get the impression, subconsciously or otherwise, that you are juiced in or connected, like you would have to be to carry in LA for example?

I just ask since everyone in this thread as far as I can tell got let off or just warned.

I got a ticket. .... no "pass" for me... I was talking on my cell phone. The officer, I think was a bit embarrassed about giving me the ticket after I talked to him for few minutes and told him a little of my history... talking and driving in professional capacity before he was born, no accidents, no moving violations.

All debate aside, when you have an actual LEO saying

Quote:
I always announce that I armed because I don't want to get shot by a jumpy officer
Maybe it's a good idea to announce preemptively? At the end of the day, say you're reching to pull out your wallet for officer 1 at your driver's window. You happen to be carrying IWB on your right hip, and your wallet is in the right pocket. Officer 2, who you didn't even see is on overwatch on the passenger side, slightly to the rear, sees your weapon and proceeds to shoot you dead. I'm fairly certain that it would be ruled a good shoot, because at the time, officer 2 believed you were going for your gun. And you can't contradict that cause you're dead.

Of ocurse, being an LA County denizen, I'll probably never have to worry about things like this, since we are a "Won't issue" county.

It's not required that you refrain from calling the LEO who stops you for 80 in a 55 a pejorative name either, but it's highly recommend that you do refrain from that. It's not required that you speak to the officer, but it's recommended. It's not required that you not pick your nose and wipe it on your steering wheel while the officer is talking to you, but I suggest that you not do so.

And actually, in my county and several others, it IS required that you advise the officer if you're carrying. All of this hand-wringing over disclosing one's carry status borders on paranoia. We've had ONE anecdote from ONE guy in recent months about a cop who yelled at him, ONE anecdote about a guy who had to sit on the curb while they checked his gun. The vast majority of contacts are reasonable. I advised an EGPD motor officer who got me on radar for 60 in a 45 and I wasn't even carrying, under the assumption that there was at least a possibility of my LTC status coming back if they ran my name. I'm aware that such a possibility has not been established definitively here, but I did it just in case, and also because it's common courtesy to advise. The resulting interaction was positive.

I don't see the courtesy in announcing something that is irrelevant
Should I also advise of the Cheetos and bible under the seat
My experience differs from yours, and I have asked quite a number, and again half don't care, surprisingly to me it was more chp that didn't care rather than locals
Still I will decide on an individual basis, not a blanket decision to announce every time or not to at any time

In San Diego we are not required to disclose. As for your CCW being tied to your DL I have checked and no it is not. Again no disrespect to LEO's but there is a small percentage out there that may not like our rights to carry and if you have the good luck to run into one of those and you disclose the out come could go bad. My issuing agency does not require me to disclose. My weapon is CONCELLED at all times and cannot be seen. The only way it will be found is if I am being searched and if I ever commit an offense that would require that to happen then I deserve what ever happens to me. I have had encounters and never had a problem since my weapon was properly concealed as it should be per the law. And as mentioned disclosure is a personal choice. If someone wants to disclose by all means you should. If it makes you more comfortable do it, it is your choice. I choose to not.

Required or not I respect what they do so I would let them know. I would want to know if I were a cop. Just a respect thing to me. You did the right thing.

We should rename this thread proper CCW etiquette. Its common courtesy and shows you have respect. Show some it goes a long way and there are a few examples of a good outcome even when there was a violation.

I'm not required to disclose on my permit, so I do not unless the circumstance makes it neccessary or prudent. I have been contacted by anti-gun cops who didn't like my progun stickers on my truck.

I HAVE received a ticket, after disclosing my CCW status, but that didn't hurt me, in fact probably helped, since it improved the friendly raport I had with the CHP officer.
Long story short- He wrote me up for 75 in a 65, when it was actually ~85 when I noticed him pacing me. He liked my car and knew I had been hitting triple digits for short times, before he clocked me. He had been shadowing me at a distance for over 15 miles.
P.s. it was daylight on a mostly straight/divided highway with no traffic.

"On my right hip ....I'll be happy to hand you my license and permit but it's in my wallet in my back pocket. How would you like me to proceed?"
Officer responds "Thank you for letting me know....go ahead"

5 min later ...no fuss ...no muss.... No ticket!
That's a perfect way to announce to a leo that your a good guy and carrying. Remember that most officers deal with people that lie to them or withhold information.

The only way it will be found is if I am being searched and if I ever commit an offense that would require that to happen then I deserve what ever happens to me. I have had encounters and never had a problem since my weapon was properly concealed as it should be per the law. And as mentioned disclosure is a personal choice. If someone wants to disclose by all means you should. If it makes you more comfortable do it, it is your choice. I choose to not.
Interesting view on things. But, just to tell you you CAN be searched even when you haven't "done something to deserve it." I am the most law abiding guy you'll ever meet and I've been searched twice after a car stop: one I was asked to step out of a taxi at a DUI checkpoint because someone had assaulted someone outside a bar and jumped into a cab to get away. The other was for a similar type thing, but the person drove off in a POV that was similar to mine.

I don't carry, but in both cases I stayed lighthearted and friendly, and in both cases after a few questions I was on my way.

I'm not sure how you're carrying concealed that you are 100% sure that in no way, from any angle or any light, that your weapon can not ever be seen (or imprint even). I honestly don't see the upside of being so obstinate about it since you've taken the steps to get the CCW (which involves lots of forms and personal information anyway).

I say always show an officer your LTC, at least in CA.

It does a few things:
1. Shows the officer that other LEO's trust you enough to grant you a license
2. You passed a criminal background check/live scan
3. You had enough respect for the Officer to inform them that you are carrying a loaded firearm.

Respect goes along way with people who are lied to on a daily bases.

If your permit is from Sacramento Sheriffs Dept you are now REQUIRED to notify any LEO you are contacted by that you are carrying a weapon.

If no weapon is present then you do not need to notify them but they said its a good idea to let the officer know. He will find out if and when he runs your DL and then may be upset or jumpy because he wasn't notified.

Advice here is mostly good advice but its best to familiarize yourself with the laws & if needed contact DFW. or local Law Enforcement

Always confirm it for yourself. Ignorance is no excuse.

I have watched tons of YouTube videos about guys carrying and are being dicks to the LEO who stops them and asks for ID. If I was LEO and pulled over a guy and saw him reaching towards his gun, even if he was reaching for his wallet and had a CCW, I'd draw.

For the person who said half of the LEO said they don't care if you have a CCW and don't tell them and you're using that as your basis of not disclosing, imagine being pulled over on a stretch of freeway where the LEO has no back up and he sees your gun. Do you still think they wouldn't care at that point?

Your licence,registration and insurance should be in your hands at 1200 on the wheel already by the time the cop gets to your door or window.

I got stopped at 2300 on a Saturday in a not so great part of Vista a couple of years ago after many years of carry. Although this was the first time I had had an encounter while armed during a traffic stop I had planned on giving the cop 2 forms of ID.

As it happened I was transporting my teen high school daughter and her best friend from their girlfriends home.

I had a govt model on my strong side well concealed. My dilemma was that my daughters best friend was from a left leaning family that would have been totally turned off by the whole gun thing. My sheltered little girl (who carries a benchmade) would have been mortified if we were proned out. Fortunately for me my daughter and her friends only care about getting "A"s and going to good colleges.

The cop said I was going a little fast. I apoligized and had the light on so he could see my eyes and was close so he could smell my breath. I told him I was just out picking up the girls and I noted from my insurance card that I have 2 newer cars and that my wife and older daughter drive the new cars. I smiled and asked him if he was looking for felons or speeders in particular.
He quickly and politely replied that he was looking for felons and I said be safe and good hunting. Fortunately no drama. But at any time if things were different I would have disclosed any info to this deputy that was prudent.

I'm 62 with gray hair and try to present like a minister. I have had retired LEO friends tell me not to mention that I'm carrying unless circumstances dictate or I am asked. I don't print and I don't brandish. Years ago when laws where not so Byzantine people knew how to carry concealed because they did it commando style sin papeles. I always cringe when people on this site talk about printing or "accidentally exposing" their arms. I personally have never carried guns illegally. I'm just saying that these are strange times.

Someone mentioned earlier that in certain counties that cops may actually treat you deferentially if you CCW. I think this is diffinitly true in the southland.

I haven't been stopped in many years but I always keep my hands on the wheel and tell my passengers to stop moving and keep their hands in plain sight. No need to make an officer nervous or jumpy. As I have a CCW from Sac Co. I am required to notify the officer of my weapon. I always advise the officer of the weapon and then ask for permission to retrieve my ID.

I have seen to many officers get nervous and jumpy (rightfully so) when there is to much movement in the car and someone is searching for their ID, registration and proof of Ins. Sometimes its better to wait and ask permission. Especially if the officer is looking for felons and you happen to be in a vehicle that matches the description. This has happened to me.
