long gun OC

If you are driving a vehicle you need to provide your drivers license if pulled over and it's requested. If you are not driving, no physical ID is required.

As long as you are not suspected of committing an infraction or ordinance violation.

Short version: if the police are only talking to you because of your rifle, no you do not have to show ID or tell them anything. (These arguments always seem to pop up in the springtime. gotta love Spring Fever!)

Careful with this advice OP...He's a plant.

I have been thinking since I am very pro law enforement and have a great deal of respect for LEOs that I might email the police chief (Gilbert) and the sheriff (Himelick) and notify them of the fact that I carry a rifle on ocassion. What do you guys think yay or nay?

 

[CPT Nervous]

Could be a good idea. It would give them a heads up so they don't overreact and respond in force to an innocent 10-32.

...I even had one {LEO} tell me a handgun is a weapon that fits in the hand...

If this is true (and I have no reason to doubt freekforge) that cop doesn't 'need to be educated'. That cop needs to be terminated. As is fired, kicked to the curb, vamoosed, 86'd.

Any cop that stupid has no business on a police force, period. My lady has a term she invented for that - "moronicity".

And yes, I AM sticking up for fellow LEO's in that statement. A cop that clueless makes all cops look bad.

to make it even worse that LEO was a ISP trooper of 20 something years
