A traffic stop is not a detention...
So then no taking my gun?

Nope. They can still take your property.So then no taking my gun?
Cite?
You have been physically beaten for refusing to answer that question?
I dunno, I've only been stopped once (and it was a legitimate stop, I was in the wrong), and when the LEO asked to see my driver's license, I handed him my DL AND my LTCH. He asked where my firearm was, told 'em in a shoulder rig under my right arm. He just requested that I leave it there. About 2 minutes later, he thanked me for informing him, cautioned me to watch the speed limit signs, handed me back my documents and I was on my way.
In just shy of 40 years carrying, I've never been arrested, curb-stomped, harassed, detained, stopped, condemned, berated, ridiculed, questioned, inquired, commented upon, or even 'looked at askance' because I was carrying a firearm, either CC or OC, before, during, or after my gun-toting career. Anywhere. In any State.
But hey, maybe I've 'just been lucky' for four decades?

We've all wanted to. He just took advantage of the opportunity.Yes. My, how quickly you forget...
Or, did you beat me for a different reason?
They beat you too? They beat me and then stole my wallet and 10lbs of bacon out of my truck too!Yes. My, how quickly you forget...

Reported.He's smarter than you, isn't he?
Well, we all know there are 'jerks' in EVERY profession, not just law enforcement. Worked with a few of 'em when I was there. They weren't much better liked by the other Officers than they were by the civilians....He seemed glum that I had a license.
There ya go, LAN, a truly positive experience. Yeah, there's some (to quote Gunny) 'jack wagons' wearing badges out there. But to be sure, they're a miniscule minority.Haven't been carrying long, but within the last year, I had my first traffic stop while carrying. Pretty much identical - Going a little too fast, handed him my DL and LTCH together. He asked if I was armed and where it was. When I answered
"in my back pocket" he asked me to leave it there. Drove away with a warning after the LEO said he is a big 2A supporter.
There's a percentage of folks out there that just seem determined to bring problems down on themselves. When they choose that option, they blame the consequences on others. We call that, "failure to accept personal responsibility".Nah, blame the people who have been harassed by police for carrying a firearm, not the police who violated state code to do it.
Thanks for sharing. So this applies to "all employees". Does this mean that call centers will ask on MWAG calls if the carrier is doing anything suspicious/dangerous?

There's another percentage (perhaps overlapping) that choose to be confrontational at every instance, even when such confrontation is unnecessary and/or avoidable. We call that, "stupidity".
Choose wisely.
I wonder if forwarding that to the St. Joseph's County Sheriff's Office would help? Or if everyone would forward that to their local PD. Couldn't hurt.I sure wish it had been followed in St Joseph County.
