Cop caught me....

[SanPedroShooter]

Too bad your either FoS of the cop wasn't doing his job.. One of the first things you're taught is what??? Wait for it.. wait for it.... To notify a LEO when stopped that your carrying..Revocation anyone?

He didnt say he was stopped, he said he had his wallet out.

Whats your problem? Do you usually jump on someones post, assume a situation, tell them their full of **** and then make a stupid suggstion that he should have his CCW revoked? Whats wrong with you?

I spotted an officer in Levy County with a well worn high end 1911. I told him it was good to see a dept. that still trusted an officer to carry a 1911. He laughed and said that someone had just told him he couldn't carry it. He recited the policy that stated he could carry a 1911 if approved by the chief firearms instructor. The higher-up argued the policy with him, and he told him," I'm the chief firearms instructor, and I wrote the policy. You might have signed off on it, but I wrote it, and I approved this 1911."

Hilarious. Pretty much the SOP for me.

Its like looking at cleavage, take a glance and look away! Never get caught!

Sometimes it is hard to tell with a quick glance what it is.

I had a good gun conversation w/ a cop once,
he had just pulled me over for speeding, and I was showing him my ccw he wanted to know how many guns I was carrying & I said 3, he gets real quiet & says, "Wow, they only let me carry two" we got along fine after that & he let me off with a warning

FTW!!!

I saw a cop in a Walmart carrying what was clearly a highly customized 1911.
I stopped in my tracks and blurted out, "Is that an STI?
He replied with a grin - "Damn right it is."

I hope he was in uniform your you discretely blurted out him carrying.

I usually talk to anyone that’s (obviously) carrying, but only after I introduce myself.

Uh, no. You don't need to say anything. That whole 5th Amendment thing? Remember?

I guess there are a few counties that think they're above the law on self-incrimination, but, for the majority of counties in California, there is NO requirement to disclose you're carrying -- even if asked (i.e. don't open your mouth. Silence IS an appropriate response). However, it's probably a smart idea to let a cop know if there's a chance he could notice it.

Concealed means concealed.

ya you better off telling a cop your gun on you if he think you have one on you. he's not gonna be too happy if he spots it cause he will put his gun to ur head lol

Nearly all of the officers in my city carry HK USPs. I've never asked which caliber though I assume it's in .40.

LOL! Nice try

He was in uniform - he was waiting to take custody of someone from LP.
He also showed me his backup - and his "other backup", but I don't recall what they were.

My local PD carries P226's. The Sherrifs seem to have a little more leeway. I've seen G22's, Springfield Loadeds, and Sigs.

Unless they've changed in the past couple of years St. Helena was issuing / carrying P229. Napa SO can and do carry a wide variety. Used to mainly be Sigs but that's changed over time.

Least you didn't get caught checking out his other "gun"

I use to sit row 1 at Qualcomm in the lower area and I would see the cops walking by and check out their guns.

Seems like everyone carried Glocks.

What was more interesting was this Asian cop who had what looked like ninchucks. I **** u not he had to small baton like devices connected by a rope.

I've seen Vallejo PD with P226's.

Made plenty of conversation with cops over their guns through the years. Always been pleasurable. In fact on a off ramp in Temecula a motor cop and I talk for a while about his sidearm. He enjoyed are talk so much that he told me about the two way radar. This was a while before people started finding out.
