Law Enforcement Education

[Ron-Solo]

Guys, lets keep this in line with the intent of the original post. Some people are starting to lay out some personal experiences that did not have a positive tone to it.

All I suggested is that when you have the opportunity to pass along information and education without compromising your personal beliefs regarding your freedoms, take that opportunity.

If you are being looked at as a "suspect" that's probably not the best time to try 'educating' the officer. Advise him/her that the firearm is legally configured according to CA law, provide appropriate documentation (flowchart, Sac PD Briefing, etc) and then provide only that information that is not incriminating (name and other identifying information)

I'll continue to do my part, just looking for a little help from some experts, which is the CalGuns community. It's a big state, and there's way too much bad info out there.

I believe the "educating the LEOs about OLLs" should be done at departmental level for it to work. Most of the times we, civilians, actually get to talk to any LEOs about legality of OLLs would probably be the time when we get pulled over while we're transporting. And it definitely is not the right time to talk about anything that MIGHT give us any more trouble than we already were when the LEO who pulled over had a "oh sir you are getting a ticket today no matter what" attitude.
