I'm not going to name names here because I consider myself a friend of the LEO I talk to, and I completly understand his position, respect it, and would probably do the same. As he says "I'm going to bed tonight in my own home"
However, as he explained when you get pulled in a traffic stop, first thing that comes up is "FIREARMS PERMIT HOLDER" or something like that.
First order of buisness is "Step out of the car"
As he said, he doesn't care where it is, why you have it, ect. ect. He's looking out after his own safety. Outa the car and then do you have it on you? No, we're good, Yes, He'll disarm then continue with the traffic stop. He said he's actually had people who resisted on the hood pat down to make sure he's not going to get shot.
As he says he's not the only one who does this in traffic stops...
Legally owning a firearms permit for carrying in MS makes police more paranoid about us?
I didn't want to argue with him, cause he's a good guy and I understand him.
It just frustraits the hell out of me that even though I'm not a bad guy, having this (when I get it) pop up on a traffic stop gets me on the recieving end of police suspicion.
As I said before I don't hold it against him because I understand, but it just gets to me that since I want to get a permit if I get pulled over this is what I'd have to look forward to.
Gun owners get screwed in the end.
