CCW Question for LEOs - thanks in advance

[zombiescanlearn]

If a person is LTC, the law is that you must inform the LEO that you have a CCW when "official" contact is made between the LEO and the LTC.

So, here is the scenario. The LTC meets up with the LEOs as a task force to exercise a warrant for something on someone else. So, the LTC is working with the LEOs. Does he/she need to inform the LEOs of the CCW?

To me, that isn't official contact pursuant to the law. and the LTC does not have to tell the LEO of the CCW. Am I wrong?

Thanks.

I am not a LEO, but...

I'm Confused... in what possible situation would a civilian (with a LTC) be part of a task force to serve a warrant??

And... Hell Yes!! if you are going through the door with the cops, they damn well better know you are carrying... that is about as "Official" as it gets !

OP,

You need to be specific about where the LTC was issued. Various counties may have additional requirements. For instance, Orange County (CA) has a term in the license acknowledgement stating "If contacted by a sworn peace officer for any reason, license holder shall immediately show their CCW license as proof that they are carrying a concealed weapon." Even if holding to "official contact"; I agree with NiceGUY, if you are working with LE in the field...that's "official".

If a non-agency LTC holder is working with me (say a locksmith or computer tech) during a warrant sevice, I want to be informed of CCW. I'm not sure how much trust I would have in any potential future working relationships with that person as compared to another service provider.

It is not a "law" that a person with a CCW "must" inform a LEO upon contact. That is a policy left up to the issuing agency. I live in a county that does not require it.

Not a LEO but, I do teach CCW classes. I am unaware of any law requiring notifying LEOs however, some IAs require it as a condition to issuing their permits. Some IAs request notification and some do not.

If the conditions on your permit require you to disclose (the Penal Code does not); I would...

This post is somewhat confusing.

But if you're "meeting up with the LEOs as a task force to exercise a warrant for something on someone else," and have to draw said concealed firearm, you better hope the LE there knows you're carrying. Otherwise you may quickly find yourself full of holes.

If you're really going to be a part of a task force against someone with a warrant as a citizen....... yeah man, this is an interesting question to say the least. I can't help but think it would benefit you if you came forward that you are carrying. If you do have to draw and fire, seems like it'd a huge fuster cluck for all involved.

Think, perhaps, of a property owner or representative, going along to secure property, change locks, whatever after LEO execute a raid on the property that might leave it unoccupied (as all the occupants are riding the black and white taxis) and/or damaged.

I was thinking perhaps as a locksmith/special master once the location was secured.

I don't care what the law says, if you're "working" with me in ANY capacity, you damn well better divulge. If the SHTF and I find out later you were CCW, you're gunna get a size 12 boot up your arse.

OP, please understand, it is not my intention to be either rude or patronizing, but I cannot under any circumstances see any situation where a law enforcement officer would allow any non LE to participate it serving a search warrant, or be anywhere close/near the location. It just would not happen.

If someone has an a legal interest (locksmith, resident, renter, property manager, etc.) in the location where the warrant is served, I can see a situation where that person is at the command post or other safe location well away from where the search warrant is being served, and once the location is secured allowed to enter. Actively participate or be anywhere close to the danger zone. Never happen.

Thread Jack: if a CCWer gets stopped and he informs the LEO that he's CCW does the LEO pull out the weapon for all the looky lous to see?

Like for example if you were to have some sort of argument with a neighbor and 911 was called. Now the whole neighborhood knows you carry...

Just wondering....

It depends on the officer. Some will draw their weapons and make a "felony stop", disarm and cuff you. Some will smile and ask you not to reach near it while in their presence. It's really a crap shoot.

You're right. Thanks.
