This brings up my point. Why do I need to tell a traffic cop I have a gun and show it to him. I am being stopped for a TRAFFIC CITATION. It's none of his damn business! I usually don't tell the cop because it's a non-issue. All it does is make things more tense. It's like being pulled over for speeding and when the cop walks up saying "um officer I think you should know that I have a knife in my pocket." Just give me my ticket and move along. No disrespect to any LE, I just think there are much more important things for them to worry about than how/where I keep my gun.

If stopped you have to inform the officer you have a firearm if you are concealed carrying with a permit. I'm pretty sure it says this on the back of my card. I have no problem with this and think to do otherwise is a pretty poor decision.

As a CC permit holder my issue is with the stupid cop who sees no use for such a holster other than to kill police.

I would just tell that guy, License and Registration....Chicken fricker!

FL statute on weapons and firearms

Sounds like so long as you have a thumb break on the holster it's legal. Surely someone with 23 years in law enforcement would know the laws he's enforcing better than this?

I think we're now dealing w/ apples and oranges regarding whether to tell/not tell a police officer that you have a handgun.

According to the back of the LA Concealed Handgun Permit, "Whenever you are detained by a police officer, you will immediately inform the officer that you are carrying a concealed handgun." Whether on agrees/likes it or not, that is an obligation for concealed carry.

The other issue is what to do if detained by a police officer, e.g. a routine traffic stop, and you have a NON concealed carry gun in the vehicle (let's say it's in the glove box). You're not required to inform the police officer, but does the police officer want to be told anyway.
