Again, I'm not a lawyer and the court could completely prove me wrong, but that's my understanding of the 4th as a citizen. Sorry that hapened to you.

thanks. i'd imagine you're probably right. it all happened pretty fast. i was relatively young and just glad to be out of there and with no speeding ticket.
regarding the larger topic - been pulled over twice with a gun in the car. both time i told them what i had and where it was. neither time was i asked to show it

Other than a misguided principle, why wouldn’t you want to tell them?


Because it is none of their damned business. Obviously they feel they are the threat, therefore they project it onto the civilian.

Every gun law on the books is unconstitutional. They are all an infringement, but we dont have a supreme court with the balls to make that ruling.

With that being said:

1. Dont have weapon in plain sight.
2. Do not provide any information to a police officer with the exception of giving them your drivers license, registration, and proof of insurance. It is not their business where you are coming from, where you are going or what you have in the car.

Be polite but keep your mouth closed.

As Rom White said "you may have the right to remain silent, but not the ability".
