Long sleeves and a tie in LA? He must've been a rookie then. Great show, you remember it HM? I was VERY young but I do remember it.

VUPD, just because it hasn't happened to you or that's not how you react, doesn't mean it didn't happen. You can say what you want but I'm telling you he did this. I did most of what has been recommended in these replies, was as nonthreatening as possible, opened all the windows including the one in the rear which comes down, kept hands visible. Kirk's recommendation is tough for me. If someone in LE asks me a question, I try to work with them with only the necessary facts. I absolutely agree with Kirk to not get 'chummy' and **** chat.
Point of me sharing this experience is to learn if something has changed across agencies telling them how to deal with a LTHC as a threat or was it just this one guy. It did happen, exactly as I posted. You don't believe it? That's ok. Trying to defend others in your profession, I get that. But don't lead others on the board to think this never happens or that type of reaction won't raise questions.
Easy, coach.
Your thread count is low, and your story is hard to swallow... we get people coming in here and trolling. From your other posts, I don't get that vibe about you, but don't take VUPD's professional skepticism personally.
If the trooper really was threatening, then perhaps a call to the ISP post is in order.
You're right, it's not normal, but it's also not the worst - this is worse, and more entertaining: https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/carry-issues-self-defense/169733-1-sbpd-officer-maxey.html
PS - it's LTCH, not LTHC.
I think the latter has to do with marijuana.
I've had pleasant interactions with police officers. Especially this one:
I am blessed to be friends with an ISP officer, who also is a weapons instructor. He gave me plenty of real world, common sense advice on different LTCH scenarios.
He advised me that if I was pulled over for a traffic violation: Inform the officer that I have a LTCH. He will ask me if my weapon is with me. I answer yes. Likely, he’ll tell me to sit tight.
A few month ago I was pulled over by a county sheriffs deputy. I did exactly as my ISP friend instructed me. All of the events happened as he told me.

As quick as possible.
Stick your head out the window and yell, "I got a gun!" to make sure the LEO knows right away. He'll thank you.
