You're driving by a school, and you exceed the speed limit. Officer lights you up.
You have two choices,
A. Pull over in the school area.
B. Drive for a bit and pull over outside of the school area.
If A... you're now in a school zone with a firearm in your car. Cop approaches window. Again, two choices:
A. Inform cop you have a firearm.
B. Don't inform.
If A... you've now let an officer know that you have a firearm in a school zone. In this situation, what happens? Does the cop understand that they pulled you over, and not pursue the law you may be breaking? (Entrapment?) Or does the officer lose their crap on you? Curious for answers from officers here, and non-LEO's.
If the officer were to pursue charges against you for having the gun in a school ground, how would that play out in court? I tend to think you'd win this one... but again, that's why I'm asking the question.
