Update on Ohio: License holders no longer need to notify. However, you must respond if asked.
"What if the officer starts being aggressive with you? Whatever you do, do not match HIS aggression with MORE aggression".
Translation: "If HE is acting like a criminal, YOU have to act like a professional".
what if you are pulled over and you clearly have not done anything wrong? no speeding, improper lane changes, failure to use signal, ect... please address that issue. do i still have to provide id ect?
The info on Ohio is wrong. 6:42 Ohio is NOT a must notify state. SB 210 which went into effect in June 12 2022 changed the law. Ohio; you only have to notify IF AN OFICER asks. REF- codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-2923.12 "(1) If the person is stopped for a law enforcement purpose and is carrying a concealed handgun, before or at the time a law enforcement officer asks if the person is carrying a concealed handgun, knowingly fail to disclose that the person then is carrying a concealed handgun, provided that it is not a violation of this division if the person fails to disclose that fact to an officer during the stop and the person already has notified another officer of that fact during the same stop;"............
When the officer asks if you have any weapons, and you don’t have a gun, but you have a pocket knife? Is that a ‘weapon’? Is it covered by a concealed carry permit?
Thanks for any guidance.
Wonderful video.
Great video with detailed instructions. Couple of questions:
1) How does the calculus change if you're legally "open carrying", especially if the officer doesn't immediately notice? (e.g., holster obscured by seat belt, or holster is on driver's left side and can't be seen from officer's viewpoint)
2) What if you're transporting a gun in your car, but it's NOT on your person (e.g., in glove box, trunk, center console, etc.) Is that still conceal-carry if you're not carrying it?
I had a cop ask to search my car and I told him no. He gave me the old "innocent people wouldn't mind" argument. I asked him if he was at the state fair and a random stranger came up to him and offered a free colonoscopy would he do it? He was like, "What?!? No. What's that got to do with anything?" I said, "Just like you don't want some random stranger sifting through your sh!t, I don't either." I got a warning and was sent on my way.
I'm stealing this.
Brilliant!!
I call BS... Nice story. Funny, indeed. But didn't happen.
@@ericredbear425But I'd like to watch the cop cry if it did happen, wouldnt you?
@@ericredbear425 It did happen, in front of friends, and they've wondered how I haven't been beaten and tased for my mouth. Normally I'm polite and keep my mouth shut but if I get pulled over by a cop who's power tripping and I know that they don't have anything on me, why not? I'm getting the ticket anyway so I might as well let him know he's failed to intimidate. Nothing makes a power tripping cop madder than laughing at his intimidation fail.
Back in 2005 as a Nurse Practitioner at 10:00 on a Thursday morning I ended up with the DEA in my office stating we noticed you have a concealed weapons permit, do you keep a gun in the office? "Yes". They asked where did I keep it , and I responded, second drawer down left hand side of the desk. They asked would you take it out for us please and hand it to us please. I looked up and c responded, "You're joking right?" No sir our warrant doesn't cover your firearm, so we're asking you to hand it to us (yes, this really happened). I said I'll move away from the desk and will give you permission to remove it from the desk but there is no way in hell I'm going to reach into my desk and pull out a loaded weapon with three federal agents in my office. They actually asked "what did I think was going to happen". I dont know for certain but I don't want to get shot. They looked at me surprised and said you actually think we would shoot ỳou? Where upon I stated I had zero trust or respect of any of them. They had all lied to me previously from the first day so why would it be a stretch to simply shoot me?
I totally agree with your assessment, especially with feds. Nothing against any LE agencies, but in today's environment it's a Major Concern imho. 😢 Why they even show up at your place of business is bizarre in itself. You really should ccw on your person as situations escalate extremely quick. Imho, I am pushing 70s n I have ccw for over 45 years. I routinely ccw Sig P938 or a 43X both one in the pipe n cocked with the safety engaged. Why? Almost every violent situation where the individual wants to commit their actions. Your first reaction will be subsequently pushing back with your weak arm goes out to create space. You only have a few seconds to turn n engage with your strong arm/hand. The 21 foot scenario repeats upon you as well.
A knife attack can happen within that 21 foot rule... You generally aren't trained to draw your weapon while racking a round, cock n click safety off n engage the threat at point blank range. At the very least. Consider a bra holster, neck holster, giving you immediate access to a weapon even a small fire arm. Tucked away on your person, unnoticed by everyone around you. Granted you only have 5 shots, n takes a calmed shooter up to 4 minutes to reload. But we aren't going to concentrate on that possibility. 1 or 2 shots are generally the typical gun fight. The human body doesn't do well with holes in itself...
NAA has such guns n ebay sells just about any type of holster you want. As do manyyy other company's. Some you have to rig with (heat gun tool).
I ccw NAA Black Widow in my sap pocket on jeans n have a Pug on neck holster if needed. Warm weather problem solved. The same would apply with a ccw gun on your person. All NAA come with 22lr n 22mag cylinders. I keep it 22mag a safe position between 2 rounds. It absolutely can not fire in such a position, regardless of hits or droppingnit ect... You'll have to cock it to shoot yes, its not a real game changer necessarily. But it gives you a fighting chance. As a health provider, you know patients that can become agitated n violent. Just my own thoughts. Any gun is better than no gun. 😢 I have had a few rides EMTs to hospital n most its NOT a big deal. Just let them know you ccw n where it's at. Most women EMTs ccw off duty n in rig, as things can happen. With that specific choice, I can't think of one LEO's that would have a problem with that. We ALL want to go home safe as well. 😊 Imho, every woman n elderly person should carry a 4ply midget sap or a 10 oz block jack n a high pitch pull alarm. With today's online dating, every woman puts themselves in to a dangerous situation if you are dumb enough to not safe guard your life. Saps n black jacks can kill if not used safely. Generally speaking, a good hit behind their ear will knock them out. YOU ONLY HAVE 1 or 2 hits, SO MAKE THEM COUNT. I hope this comment will help someone out there today. Dates should NEVER END UP in a Hotel Room imho.

Why in the F would Anyone Pay the Criminals (for a Permit) who are Violating your Constitutional Rights to Keep and Bear Arms ? People like you are why they think they can get away with these Criminal acts against Law Abiding American Citizens ! FJB !
This sounds crazy, but they may have wanted you to put it in your hand so they could charge you with something, then expand the search. You CANNOT trust cops
You were the idiot for giving them permission.
Sad that you gave them permission to search for it

Back in 2018 I was pulled over for not having a front plate on my car. All of my driving paperwork was good, I had a concealed carry liscense, and a loaded 9mm in the glovebox.
Per my state laws I immediately notified that I had a carry liscense and that there was a loaded 9mm in the glovebox. I made the decision to ask him if he would like to retrieve my registration from the glovebox, and he accepted and thanked me..... Then he asked permission to sit the pistol on the roof of my car (a common "police safety" action in my area), and I consented...
About 10min later, I was being ordered out of my car and handcuffed... The cop had taken my gun back to his car, called in the serial number, and decided it was stolen. After about 30min of being handcuffed and trying to explain that I had bought the pistol new at a local dealer 5 months earlier, a supervisor showed up and called in the SN again.... This stupid rookie had decided that my 9mm pistol was a .40cal Hipoint Carbine stolen in Texas when I was 5 years old. The stolen firearms database gives a flag to double check the SN if the SN is within one digit of a reported stolen gun. SN 12345 will get a recheck if SN 12349 is reported stolen
Don't consent to anything that they do not have the authority to do on their own
Not without a Court Order, Warrant, or Judgement

"Officer Safety" is why Uvalde is so famous.
"Infamous".
Uvalde SHOULD be famous for having a school district that chose to rely upon 911 for safety, rather than allowing their staff to be armed.
In Texas - every school district gets to choose if they want to allow their staff that wants to - to get FREE air marshall firearms training, and carry at school - or to rely upon 911 and waiting for police to come.
Don't forget Parkland, Florida or Ruby Ridge.
"Officer Safety" = "Officer COWARDICE"
It’s also why many schools added more hand sanitizer dispensers to high traffic areas like hallways and lobbies, police must disinfect their hands before saving children’s lives.
As a truck driver for 37 years in California and a CCW holder for 20 in California,I have had many contacts with law-enforcement. I always just told them “I have a license in my possession to carry a a concealed weapon and I am armed. What would you like for me to do officer/ deputy?
Even in California, I never really had a bad experience with that . I had one CHP get a little antsy. His partner just rolled his eyes at that and told me “thank you very much”
I have only had one Sherrif deputy asked to take my gun. Of course i complied. We had a conversation. She cleared the weapon and then gave it back to me and told me that when she leaves I can “put the Barney bullet back in. “ Reload it.
Notification was a requirement of my county
The one thing I will correct you on, in MANY STATES... not all...
In MANY States, The Police Officer is required to have Reasonable, Articulable Suspicion (RAS) of a Crime Being Committed, Having Been Committed, or Will Be Committed, by you, in order to request your Driver's License, and this INCLUDES while you are driving.
Cops cannot just pull you over to "check your papers." That goes against the very framework of the 4th Amendment.
So long as your vehicle is in good shape, all lights are working, and you have not committed any traffic violations like speeding, lane changing or turning without signal, etc... then the officer has no reason to request your identification, let alone pull you over.
Cop:
"I've just never seen you around here before."
Your Response Should Be:
"Is there a Law against that?"
Cop:
"It's our policy to identify you when we pull you over."
Your Response Should Be:
"Correct, but you have to have RAS. What is it that prompted you to pull me over?"
Cops can neither pull you over, arrest you, or write you a citation without RAS.
If at any time you feel like they are violating your Rights... ask for a supervisor.
If the supervisor is on the same bs... shut up. Invoke your 5th Amendment Rights... and wait to call your attorney. (If you're lucky, it's Hampton Law)
Rule #1: Never engage in consensual conversation
Safe speech is just as important as safe sex.
Just do it!
That’s what she said.
Had a cop walk up to my deck when trying to arrest a neighbor and as soon as he spoke I said "I don't talk to cops" and he said "smart man" and smiled while he walked away. Chick on the deck with me was shocked. Lol
@@noanyobiseniss7462it's a real shame but nowadays is that especially after covid cops are not acting right and is seeing it more and more and more especially on RUclips live and stuff these boot thugs are out of control man and I'm not kidding one bit I had tremendous respect for law enforcement my entire life three of my family members are in law enforcement One in sheriff and two in State Patrol and they even told me don't talk to pigs they told me that exact phrase they said they're only out there to take your possessions lock you up and throw away the key they just want your money and my own family told me that
Sometimes it does. I was broken down in BFE. They send cops before the tow truck. Cop asked for license and insurance. I told him about the loaded shot gun on the front seat. He had me unload it. Totally forgot about the insurance, which I didn't have. That shot gun saved me a $400 ticket.😂😂😂
"innocent people have nothing to hide"
This is where I say it's especially important that the person exercises their constitutional rights and not give consent!
That's a Kafka tier trap designed to get the unwary citizen to surrender their rights.
"Gee I'm innocent so I guess I don't have anything to hide. Sure, please violate my 4th amendment rights."
Or
"I have something to hide, so guess I'm not innocent. Which means that the officer is correct in assuming my guilt. But if I pretend to be innocent and say I have nothing to hide and give up my 4th amendment rights, maybe this will go easier for me and he won't find me guilty."
When the real issue is that you can't know what the cop can't or won't be able to interpret as evidence of a crime or violation of a law. There's so many laws on the books that you're bound to be guilty of something somewhere, even if they have to squint their eyes to see it, magic picture style.
So the truth is that you can't be innocent under a system that empowers and conditions it's enforcement agents to suspect illegality and crime in every encounter, and grants them immunity from all but the most grievous of mistakes.
Innocent until proven guilty only applies to the court system, not to a cop. To a cop it's guilty and can I find enough to secure an arrest or justify a fine.
I say I'm neither guilty or innocent but that either way, I have plenty to hide and am not going to make it an easier for the cop or his investigation, especially when anything I say or do, or don't, and anything the cop sees or finds can and will all be used against me.
I will comply as minimally and as civilly as possible but will not go a step further, not when it can and will be used against me, and ignorance of the law will not exempt me from consequences while also shielding the cop at the same time.
"You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide." Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister of Propaganda
think you meant to say, …consent, …
@@Edgar-kl6usthanks! I edited it. I guess there was an issue between my brain and fingers earlier today
I was once lit up by an officer when I was going around 128 Mph. I didn't even get a ticket out of that one.
Which might have been because he was never able to actually catch me... but, whatever. 🙂
As a passenger, if you are asleep when the driver gets pulled over, are you forced to wake up and answer questions?
If you're disabled, and cannot stand up without devices and a cop is using his door as a shield and says, "Everybody out of the car ", on his megaphone. When you yell "I'm disabled!"
... "For the last time, exit the vehicle (or I'll release the hounds) (of hell).
What do you do? Fall out the door onto the ground? Deaf people, disabled, speaking disabilities, psychological issues that exponentiate stress
Fall out of the vehicle and then sue the sobs
You have the right to remain silent, because anything you say will be misquoted and used against you, that's about right.
That's it in a nutshell. 😅
Officer: Do you have any weapons in your vehicle?
Me: This is a tool van, everything in here could be a weapon.
Depending on where I am in my house, many items could be used as a weapon if needed.
Feet, shoes, hands, knees, pencil, knife, gun, the car you’re driving, etc. are all potential weapons but are not weapons until used as a weapon. Knives, guns, fist etc. are PPE and are granted by God, which no man has the right to take away. US government is null and void
No officer that shotgun is not a weapon, it's a Turkey Tenderizer™
Got pulled over for a burnt out headlight. First thing cop asked is if I had any drugs, weapons, or anything illegal in the car. I told him I had a weapon of mass seduction and asked him if he wanted to see it. He said no and went to run my paperwork.
Officer: “Please step out of the vehicle”
So, by exercising my 2A rights, i have forfeited my 5A. Right to remain silent?
That's messed up.
Miller v. US "The claim and exercise of a Constitutional Right cannot be converted into a crime." - US Supreme Court
Thanks for sharing that supreme Court ruling, it just may come into play one day
@@bongothomNo, it won't. Read the entire ruling and its interpretation before you do anything. Or even better, ask a lawyer.
@@etherraichu Lawyers don't know all the answers. But your best bet is a constitutional lawyer.
If you have a CCW, yes in this instance and your 4th (partly). You've agreed to notify and relinquish upon request.
I've been stopped three times while carrying. Windows down, hands on the wheel w/DL & CCW in hand. I said: "Officer, I'm carrying today on my right hip. Please tell me what I should do." Almost verbatim they have said: "If your gun stays where it is, mine stays where it is and we both leave healthy." Courtesy is a 2-way street, it costs nothing to be first to offer it.
Unfortunately, there are too many officers who just look for an excuse to arrest you for any reason they can conjure up. The courts are full of cases where citizens are suing the police for this type of behavior.
I like your wording of "Courtesy", rather than the word "respect" which people usually use. Too many people think that we should be respecting cops just cause they are cops. What they don't understand is that respect is something that must be earned on a case by case basis. Courtesy is something that a person can just have as a behavioral trait.
@@user-wz8gj4mc4q Thank you. And likewise, your clearly explaining the difference is what many don't understand. It really applies to any encounter from a cashier, waitstaff at a restaurant or phone tech support - treating someone courteously costs us nothing but can be reciprocated in small and sometimes very big ways.
Amazing how they can lie to you & it's legal, but if we lie to them, it's illegal...
They TEACH police how to lie. That's lower than whale shiit or democrat.( I'm not sure which is lower)
You as a lawyer should be defending our rights.
In court. In court is where lawyers defend your rights.
Did you not pay attention to the video? 🤔
Or disbarred if they don't.
If they don't they should be disbarred for perjury in violating oath of office swearing false oath,all state officials must take a oath and register Said oath. Violating oath of office swearing false oath is Treason and a felony. If they did not take a oath and register said oath then they cannot operate in any legal capacity whatsoever.
Lawyers DONT defend an Individuals Rights....they Defend the BAR and the system they have sworn an oath to.
Sometimes those can overlap in your favor, but Defending "The System" is their primary goal
I hired this guy a couple years ago before he had a youtube channel... Jeff Hampton is a truly amazing attorney!! Got my entire case dismissed and made it look easy. Damn good attorney!
And were you compensated for your expenses and time? The process is the punishment.
My State is only when asked. And I have a question. What does a traffic stop for speeding got to do with my sidearm? Talking to police is like digging a hole so deep you won't be able to get out of it.
15 minutes in 15 seconds. 1. Keep your hands on the top of the steering wheel until the officer tells you to do something. 2. tell him what you are about to do. Wait for him to acknowledge. 3. SLOWLY move to where you said you were going. 4. Let them take your gun until stop is over, don't argue, dont fight with them. 5. Don't "permit" search of vehicle, if he searches without your permission not your problem...don't grant permission. 6. Let your attorney do the arguing in court (don't tell the cop you are sicing your attorney on him).
The fun part is traveling between multiple states. Researching laws and planning your route accordingly makes it a lot easier, but still a major pain in the butt

My standard answer is, "I do not have anything illegal in the vehicle" immediately followed by " as provided by the 5th amendment of the U S constitution I will not answer any further questions".
I’ve been pulled over in Cobb County GA, and informed the officer I had a gun in my car, and he brushed it off. He told me why he pulled me over, asked for id, and let me go with a warning.
I would never tell him I have a gun unless it was on my person or within reach. If its on me I will absolutely tell him that I have a CWP. Citizens carrying guns is not illegal. We get the same clearance from the state as he does and for the exact same reason.
Thats how majority of lawful citizens act and rational law enforcement handle interactions.
@@krane15 If your gun is legal telling them about it increases the chances of only getting a warning.
You are not required to help or aid in an investigation. States that have a law requiring you to tell a officer in there official capacity that you have a concealed weapon permit have an unconstitutional law. Officer safety at the cost of surrendering one's rights is call tyranny. We the people need to stand together and fight this relentlessly in the higher courts and of course not on the side of the highway. It's not our right to stand against tyrannical laws from our corrupt tyrannical government. It's a duty and our responsibility. Security always has been and always will be the cry of tyrants. We were warned about this by the founders of this country and is exactly why we have the second amendment. Bleeding hearts are destroying our rights no longer taking nibbles at it. They are going after big chunks like a pack of hungry vicious wolf's. The bulk of citizens in this country no longer have an understanding of just how important every single right is and why. Every single word of the constitution has purpose. Giving up just one a little piece or word threatens all the others. They are designed to protect each other. If we don't start screaming that from our roof tops so loud that it rattles the rest educating and waking our neighbors out of the entertainment coma of lies and brainwashing all is lost if it's not already. Evil has indoctrinated our children into a hypnotic state while they have us looking at our phones for the next entertainment fix like it's an addictive drug. While they use it to spy and put the information into advanced computers giving them all the information they will ever need to destroy us, all our freedoms, the country and the world. How much longer our we not going to not care or listen to the vipers that call it all a conspiracy theory? I can tell you not much longer no matter if we act or not. We are no longer just bleeding from wounds. We are Hemorrhaging and dying from a thousand cuts from a silent attack while we passed out in a drunken stooper of lazy ignorance. Simply put.
GA doesn't require to provide that information at any point, asked or not.
Sounds like laws to override rights. 2nd, 4th, and 5 amendments.
(Either give up you're 4th, or incriminate yourself because your 2nd amendment is restricted.)
Why do you think the founding fathers went back into session to draft the Bill of Rights? Even then they had enough history to know that all governments move towards tyranny. The Bill of Rights may slow it down, but they won't stop it.
Which is why the constitutions also gives the people the right to abolish the corrupt government and start over. No government is immune to tyranny and corruption. Not even ours.
@@krane15 until they are so large and corrupt that nothing a citizen can do will stop it.
I drive a Mustang GT(Cop magnet) but have my two veteran decals from the Navy and Army on my rear windshield. I do it because I’m proud of it but it has helped with traffic stops.
My cousin who is a vet told me, a vet as well, to get a Veteran's License Plate. Like your decals, he said that it has helped greatly in traffic stops.
@@StanGrande7050 It does help but I don’t do it just to get out of tickets because I haven’t had one in over a decade but it helps the officer identify the drivers background quicker than running your drivers license.
I came from a blue state (NY).I live in a free country now. I remember taking out my gun, unloading it (with chamber flag) placing it on the counter BEFORE the police arrived. The officer told me I didn't have to do any of that, just letting him know I had it was fine. He wasn't lying because I was in an accident and informed a separate agency I was armed, and he said there was no need to produce my permit. To be fair they have the permit info when they run your name or plate in my state. I live in NC, and I am sure if I was closer to Raleigh, or Charlotte they would have been different interactions.
Here in New Hampshire we are not required to have vehicle insurance, so you are not required to show proof. New Hampshire is also a Constitution Carry state, with no permit required.
not required to have vehicle insurance? how does that work?
@@Devellaro He's being a bit deceitful with his comment. You may not have to purchase auto insurance but you still have to demonstrate you have sufficient funds to meet the state's financial responsibility requirements. Last time I checked my state had something similar. To demonstrate you had sufficient funds you couldn't just show them your savings account balance, you had to give them the money to hold for you. It wasn't like 25k or something like that either, it was like 80k or 100k, a pretty big sum.
New Hampshire also says in their insurance FAQ that if you go the self-insured route that, "If you are in an auto accident and you are at fault, you could be held liable (legally responsible) for bodily injury or property damage resulting from that accident. If a lawsuit is brought by the injured party, a court could order that your assets be used to pay for the resulting damages that are awarded."
@@Isaac_132 Okay but that is already the case; you're liable to damages that exceed the coverage of your insurance in most States. It's just that most lawyers don't pursue that because most people are unable to pay much outside of their insurance coverage.
Funny how that doesn't apply to any illegal - and there are 'non-profits' getting our tax dollars who will help those illegals get to another State.
They passed a law in the early 2000’s requiring TN residents to buy vehicle insurance from the big insurance companies. So much for the right to travel freely. The slaves want $afety
With the way cops handle guns I would not feel safe with a cop pulling a gun out of my holster. I’d be worried about getting shot by my own gun
I stopped working and just stay at home now. I don’t want to be around any crazy cops. Everything is paid off and I grow the best food in the world right here on my property. Y’all can have it
I thought the same thing

Also, remember if you inconvenience the officer by actually using any of your legal rights, you'll need to pick up your own teeth and you'll eventually get a letter that says "We've investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing by us."

@@timmyhipbird7543 if you have more money than the government, of course.
@davidm8371 you do realize beside a small retainer on a good case a constitution lawyer would take a % instead of a set amount don't you? If lawyers fees are included ( and should be ) you get full judgement and your attorney get full fees.
Exactly, cops have big sensitive egos, and our broken justice system tells them “we have the perfect job for you.” Lol
@@timmyhipbird7543 Not necessarily. To make a long story short, I had a man get irate with me because I didn't move fast enough at a traffic light to suit it so he promptly sped up and turned in front of my truck effectively blocking me in against a sidewalk and utility pole. He then jumped out of his van and started around it toward me. As I couldn't move my truck and couldn't get my driver's side door open, I reached into my purse and laid my .357 on the dash with my hand on it. When he saw the gun, HE called the cops! Needless to say, there we both sat when then cops showed up extremely quickly! He moved his van and I asked the officer if he wanted me to step out of my truck (I already had my license and my carry permit in my hand by this time). He said yes so, keeping both my hands in plain sight and my .357 still in plain sight on the dash, I exited my truck. He motioned me toward him so, keeping my hands out to my sides, I started toward him and when I was about 15 feet from him, he whipped out his trusty 9mm and pointed it straight at my head!!! A lady officer was asked to pat me down and handcuff me, which she did and then put me in the back of the first cop's police car! After sitting there for almost an HOUR, the first cop got in the front seat and his sergeant walked up to his window and told him that I hadn't done anything illegal and to let me go. Did this first moron do that? NO!! He kept me in the back of his car another 20 - 30 minutes trying to get other officers that walked up to his window to agree with him that there should be some reason that he could take me to jail!! Un-freaking-believable!! Thankfully, his sergeant came back around and asked him why I was still being detained and demanded that he let me go at which time HE came around and let me out and took off the handcuffs!! It gets even better (worse?), yet another cop walked up to hand me by gun (which they had obviously removed from the dash of my truck) and a baggie containing my ammo. This rocket scientist informed me that while I was free to go that I couldn't reload my gun until I was out of Nashville and Davidson county!!! I called every danged attorney in town and not a single one would take my case against the Nashville police department!!! I was pretty well convinced at that point that the cops could do anything darned thing they like and there's not a blessed thing we can do about it! OH!! It probably would have been even worse but (thankfully) the jerk in the van actually admitted to the cops that I didn't point my gun at him - only laid it on the dash and it turned out that he had an outstanding warrant so he's the one that ended up being arrested!!!
"do you have any guns in the vehicle sir?"
Me: *points to biceps
"haha have a good day sir"
simple!
Then the cop tells the coroner “he pulled two guns in me, so I shot him.”
Coroner: Those aren’t guns, they’re limp noodles. You’re in trouble, piggie!
In Ohio, you do not need to notify unless asked, "If you are stopped for a law enforcement purpose and carrying a concealed handgun, you are no longer required to inform the officer that you are carrying. However, if the officer asks whether you are carrying, you must answer truthfully." This is from the OH Atty Gen as of June 29, 2022.
Thank you for this!
Wrong.
You have the right to remain silent.
You have no duty or obligation to answer any questions, or give the officer anything, because you also have the right to be secure in you belongings and *papers*.
I dont care if its a gum wrapper, you dont have to give the officer anything, not your license or registration.
You waive your rights volontarily.
Supreme court ruled several times that driving on the public roads is a right.
If you are not carrying, or if you have no license, do you need to answer?
did you not hear in the video where in some states, you MUST notify the officer of carrying a firearm?@@SpicyCactus

I was pulled over in Nevada and told the officer that I had a CCW and weapon in the car. He was not only thankful, but he let me off on the ticket.
Did you lick his 🥾?
Most are appreciative of that. And they mostly don't care as if you were going to do something you would do it.
Often a CCW permit is seen as a "good guy" certification and they know your are likely to obey the law to the best of your ability.

As a 23 year leo in a constitutional carry state (Oklahoma) I ASSUME that every vehicle has a gun... and i dont ask about guns as I dont care as long as they arent being pointed at me.. lol. That being said... I really like it when someone hands me their DL along with their Concealed Carry Permit (OK still issues so you can carry in commy states) as I know that you are not a criminal, as to get that permit you passed a through background check. Nope, you are not required to tell me anything about guns unless I ask... which... I wont.
So.. if you are in Oklahoma.. and have a CC permit.. just keep it behind your license and hand it with you license IF you want to make the officer more at ease. That CC permit tells us "Im not a criminal" and we will look elsewhere.. Cops here could care less that you have guns... everyone here carries guns... if I im stopping a pickup truck... chances are theres long guns too. We dont care.
Now...if you are in a commy state where you have to freak out because a cop is stopping you for speeding and you are carrying......either follow this attorneys advice or better yet....move to a free state. Just please dont vote blue and screw my state up if you move here. We are free because we are red.
Thank you officer for being one of the outspoken honest Blue Liners. Please stay safe out there because I know being stupid is still legal.
Thank you for being a good policeman and supporting private citizen's right to carry! Too many of the police around here seem to think that only the police and military should be allowed :(
Walk on extremely thin ice, all to protect the cop's fragile "safety." Got it.
Seriously, it bugs me to no end when officers complain or justify actions based on "safety," when they knowingly signed up for a very dangerous job.
Heaven forbid an acorn is in your possession.
According to insurance company actuarial studies, law enFORCEment is so dangerous that it doesn't even make the top 10 list.
My pratice is to remove anything that may make the officer nervous, within reason. A calm comfortable officer may be more reasonable, unless they are jerks to begin with, but that is not on you.
Its not your job to make the officer feel safe @frosty3693
No... what gripes my ass is when they justify actions based on "safety" as use it as their SHIELD to protect their ACTIONS they want to do.... It is not for their SAFETY... it is to be able to do their ACTIONS they normally couldn't do.
Like they pull you over walk up do the intro bit introducing themselves, you know why I pull you over? Any reason you going that fast? In a Hurry? blah blah blah... license/register please.... then walks back to car does his thing for 5 minutes, walks back to your car and THEN tells you to step out the car to move an agenda forward that you don't conscent to... and do it under the guise of "officer safety" and the "supreme court" ruling that offered him that "option".
THAT shit pisses me off... Stop you, and before he gets out sees 4 people in car figiting around a lot, bending down etc... gets out and walks up to window, Intro and THEN asks everyone to step out... Sure THAT is "safety" for officer... were they hiding their joint.... or their gun... The very "concept" of WHY they were afforded "options" like this.... but they corrupt it and twist it to turn it into a shield to hide behind in order to do their bullshit... use it as a tool to advance agendas when the stop was not threatening enough for the last 10 minutes but all of a sudden, the person that he just literally turned his BACK to for the entire walk back to his car... is now a detremental threat to his "safety".... The SHERIFF of my county got pulled over by the city cops of the COUNTY SEAT of HIS county while he was SHERIFF... and they absolutely did not turn their backs to him... they walked back to their car BACKWARDS... they would not show their back to him.

The only thing that is dangerous to tyrants is all the jelly donuts they eat.
The Commonwealth of Virginia has been sued numerous times for false citations issued for failure to produce proof of insurance on demand. The law requires that everyone HAVE insurance to drive on the roads but the law does NOT require a driver to produce proof of insurance upon demand.
I was going through Kentucky several years back. Got pulled over and when the cop asked for license, registration, and proof of insurance I handed him everything. He just looked at the insurance paperwork and said that it didn't mean that I had insurance. Never really cared if I had paperwork on me since.
My states registration says all I need is an electronic copy with me. So I have a pdf stored on a digital disk. I doubt they can read that format. I haven't seen one in 25 years.
But that is their problem, I am in compliance.
Texas takes a different approach. Yes, you must have insurance AND the law requires you to provide proof at a traffic stop. To write a ticket for having no insurance, just because you can't prove it is "assumed guilty until proven innocent." So if you fail to show proof, the ticket is not for failure to have insurance. It's for failure to SHOW financial responsibility, because the law requires you to show it, not just have it. Same for driver's license. You can get a ticket for failure to show it, even though the cop knows you are licensed. Failure to show license or insurance are both a $10 dismissal fee, as long as you can show the court clerk you were insured/licensed at the time you were issued the citation.
In Winchester IN I got stopped and the insurance card didn’t specifically say that the vehicle I was in was insured, so he wrote it up as uninsured. Got a notification in the mail that if I didn’t provide proof that my license would be revoked. I was pissed.
Excellent video - clear and concise...perfect delivery and great coverage of the material...especially state-by-state rules...thanks for sharing.
I truly appreciate your introduction of this detailed information!
Fact of the matter is your mileage may vary. Case in point:
Got pulled over late at night as i was leaving my place of business late at night. No one on the road, i just turn out onto the road and cop comes out of nowhere and lights me up. I immediately pull over, turn on my interior light, roll window down, and place my hands on the wheel. He aproaches, asks me for my paper. I start getting papers together and inform him i have a CCW, and a firearm. He immediately pulls his firearm, presses it to my temple and starts screaming hes going to blow my brains out. Long story short, more threats, disarmament, more threats, no ticket. Fishing expedition.
Have also had cops look bored when i tell them im armed.

I’ve been pulled over many times. I’ve found that being respectful and polite and compliant with directions is best. Only two tickets in 50 years of driving. I’m pretty sure this spared my life one night when I did not know that my car matched an APB for a drive by shooter a mile away. Wow!
I was pulled over a few years ago while carrying. The officer came to my window, I had both hands on the steering wheel. He told me why he pulled me over and asked for my paperwork. Before I moved my hands I told him that I was armed and that the weapon was loaded, in a holster at the 3 oclock position. I told him my wallet was in my back right pocket and my registration was in my glove box. Then I asked him what he would like me to do. First he thanked me for letting him know, then instructed me to get my wallet but do so slowly. I leaned toward him thus exposing the handle of my weapon, while reaching wide for my wallet. he went back to his car and came back with a fixit warning for a bad tail light.
@@Troutflies71 I had a cop pull me over and ask if I had a firearm in the car. I raised an eyebrow and gave him that "really?" look, you know the one, the one that says how dumb the question is. He said, "I don't want to know, do I?" I said "Probably not" and he went about writing me a warning.
And you don’t see a problem with them stopping. 50 year old white guy when looking for a drive by shooter? That’s a problem!
@@Troutflies71why did he even give you a fix it ticket? He could have just told you to get it fixed
@@wmg33In some states if the officer pulls you they are required to write something. I guess it is a paper trail justifying the stop.
Thank you for your videos: I really find them helpful and down-to-earth! Just a correction: I live in Ohio and the law changed here about a year or so ago, and you no longer have to notify an officer that you have a firearm immediately: You are now only required to notify the officer that you have a firearm if they ask.
From Ohio but have been living in Indiana with my wife since 2010. In 2016 my Grandmother past away so my wife, mother-n-law, and myself went back down (SE Ohio) home to take care of her funeral and estate because my grandfather had already passed in 2013. In her will I was supposed to get her 2014 Ford Escape. My wife and her mother took our vehicle back up home in Indiana and I had the Ford returning a couple days later. On my way back I was speeding about 5-7mph over when I suddenly saw an OSP Cruiser in the distance coming towards me in the opposite direction after I had come over a hill into a straight stretch so I knew they had tagged me at that point. I actually had already pulled over, turned my flashers on, rolled down the windows and shut the vehicle off within about 30sec of seeing the cruiser. The officer pulled up behind me with their lights on per standard procedure. Took a short moment to run the plates then approached my vehicle on the passenger side. I had my hands on the steering wheel and she said "well I guess you know why I'm pulling you over then?" to which I replied "Yeah, I think I might know but you can clarify if you'd like to be sure.", so she laughed. I then said "Mis, my name is ***** and I know that my name isn't registered to this vehicle. It is registered to ******, my grandmother. I have my DL here but I will need to get the registration out of the glove box and before I do I want to inform you that I do have an Indiana CCW and I do have a sidearm on my right side, how would you like to proceed?"' She replied "Well, if you leave yours where it is I'll do the same." I gave her the paperwork. she went back to the cruiser to verify everything before returning with it. She then said "Well, considering you pulled over before I even technically stopped you, I'm just going to write you a warning. Obviously slow it down, get everything switched over into your name, and I am sorry for your loss as well."
While I had actually worked as a dispatcher/corrections at a local Police Dept. in a different County for 2.5 years before moving to Indiana, I did not know the officer, nor did I say anything about my previous employment until the actual traffic stop was concluded when I then asked her if she knew certain officers I had worked with.
The key to dealing with a Police Officer is the same as dealing with anyone. Be polite, respectful, and courteous until said person doesn't show you the same. As a society these days, we humans, often provoke negative actions of others because we're a little to full of ourselves and forget that the other person has the same "rights and freedoms" as we do. As far as I'm concerned, you can do whatever the hell you want as long as it doesn't negatively affect other's rights and freedoms.
In Arkansas you dont need a permit to carry concealed or open
LOVE that !
Thats right
Constitutional carry is awesome.. Louisiana just passed this and will be in effect July I believe.
So you don't have to tell the cops you have a gun no permit required states
@@MrJimmy3459 regardless of permits, i believe it would be wise to inform the officer if you are legally carrying whether you are required to or not. to me, it give you a little trust and credibility with the officer. just my .02
Illinois Resident CCL holder here. I’ve been pulled over 4-5 times since I’ve started carrying.
First time McHenry County: I informed the officer without them asking. “You don’t reach for yours and I won’t reach for mine.”
2nd time speeding ticket Cook County : Of course his hand went right to resting on his handgun.
The officer asked me to hand him my firearm for “officer safety” until the traffic stop was over. Responded saying “Officer for both your safety and mine, I’d feel much more comfortable if you removed my firearm. Told em where it was, he reached for its cleared it and put it in my trunk.
I was annoyed. but just went with it to avoid escalation. He was already pretty nervous when I informed him.
I usually just hand them my DL and CCL and let them lead the interaction.
Not only does every state differ in how they handle, concealed carry holders during traffic stops, etc.
Every town, county, and City may handle things differently.
One set I’ve tried to hone since starting to carry every day…
Reading people and paying attention to the tone in their voice, asking with their movements, while interacting with them.
Just like being situationally aware it can save your life and help avoid dangerous situations.
A CCL is an infringement!!!
I dealt with same shit 💩 Chicago
Clearly a made-up story
@@moderngunguy3666 actually it’s a true story. I was there. But think what you want.
The other tip I would add in addition to putting hands on the wheel is to roll down the driver side window and then turn off the engine. Do these immediate when coming to a stop on the shoulder. A running engine brings the possibility of the person taking off, I've seen a lot of police chase videos that start this way and the officers are aware of it. Runners almost NEVER escape the police and eventually they will use the PIT maneuver causing you to spin out and crash. Turning off the engine signals that you plan to comply and not run - that should take "the temperature" of the encounter down. I agree with the video about trying to talk your way out of things - its pointless and will annoy the officer. They are either going to let you off with a warning or write a ticket and that outcome has probably been decided before you're pulled over. They are going to do what they want to do. You can fight in court or pay the fine. On the other hand, if you are super cooperative, respectful, the LEO is in a good mood and likes you, you MIGHT just get off with a warning. Its happened twice to me over the years - getting warnings when I was sure I'd get a ticket.
Years ago living in VA ur CCW was attached to ur license plate (My wife hated driving my cars for that reason) I had been pulled over 2X with my everyday carry on my hip. Both times I sat and waited for them to approach, intentionally not retrieving paperwork nor my license. When the officer engaged me I told them I have a firearm. Both times they asked where and I told them 3 o'clock on my hip. One asked if it was loaded? I laughed and said yes they don't work otherwise. I asked permission to retrieve paperwork and my license. Neither asked to hold my gun nor keep until the stop was over. Just told me to leave it where it is. At the end of those traffic stop they both ended up thanking me for letting them know I had a pew pew.
I would have liked to see you cover calmly refusing consent for them to temporarily seize your firearm. Your example was only how it's bad to be argumentative and escalate if they ask to temporarily seize your firearm.
I drive a van with the windows covered. When I think I am going to be pulled over, the gun comes off the belt and goes into the safe beside my seat. The cannot detect any movement as I am locking it in because there is no window to look through directly and a good reflected view requires the eyes to be close to the mirror.
I agree. Because a person still needs to protect themselves against rogue cops. Why would I ever want to give up my weapon 😂to an enemy!!!
@@SteveWhiteDallasdon’t believe they can’t see movement. I pay very close attention to the mirrors on the vehicle when I conduct a traffic stop! Also, it takes very little movement to see that movement from the vehicle itself. The safest and smartest thing to do would be to just keep your hands on the steering wheel!
@@baptizedinblue I never make a move after he's on me. I usually know it's going to happen in plenty of time to prepare. The officer is concerned for his safety., I am concerned for mine. Nervous cops are not safe to be around. I've actually locked my gun up in the safe very few times when I thought I was going to be stopped, but I was mistaken every time. But still, the way I adjust my mirrors, I have to move my head over to see behind me. My blind spot is the first thing I see. mirrors are mutual vision devices. Anyone I can see can see me (only the resolution is different.) Anyone I can't see can't see me. since I started carrying a weapon, I've noticed that I've become much more conservative with my driving and other things. i drive slower, more defensive, more courteous. I pay much more attention to my surroundings when I pull in to park somewhere or leave a store. Although I am more prepared to defend myself, I still feel like I am at greater risk; i have more to lose. Getting surprised by an attacker could end much worse. However, I will certainly take your advice. Thank you.
@@SteveWhiteDallas while a lot of times you are correct about the mirrors, although I as an officer may not have a perfect view of you from your mirrors, I can also see movement from light reflections or shade in the mirrors as well. I’m not really sure why you have a safe in the vehicle that you sometimes put your firearm in though. I don’t really see the purpose in that.
As for being afraid of law enforcement or new officers etc….., the chances of you being shot if you follow lawful commands is zero. The only way you could possibly be shot is if you want to fight, argue, and be aggressive towards the officers. I work in a state that you can pretty well assume 99% of people are carrying a gun. A lawful and respectful gun owner never makes me nervous. I’ve also worked in a very heavy crime department and it was the same way, if someone told me they were armed as soon as I approached the vehicle, zero problems.
The simple fact is, the person being contacted by law enforcement 100% dictates how that interaction goes! Even if you think the reason you were pulled over was complete bs, be respectful, follow the officers commands, and then fight it on your given court date.
This vod IS good advice. GENERALLY. But... Pulled over in NC. Did NOT disclose I was carrying. Was polite and respectful. Cop never asked. Got a warning and went about my way.
Be careful in NC - there are jurisdictions where the cop and the judge are in cahoots - cop pulls you over declares that we must follow him back to the precinct and pay the fine on the spot. No ticket, no paper proof...illegal as hell but it was the cheapest ticket I ever got. Never went on my driving record and didn't affect my insurance. Not sure what would happen in that same situation if I had been carrying at the time.
Thank you for going over this topic.
You are so welcome!

@@thewalrus374 Allowing someone else to dictate what kind of person you will be is not an indication of strength. When a strong man decides who/what he wants to be, he doesn't allow anyone to alter his decision. The first step toward gaining respect is being respectful.

They can only force people to fear them. Fear breeds an unseen danger and that is the most deadly type there is.

Free legal advice is always great!
The police and the courts know that most people can not afford their own lawyer in this country and have to rely on the "public defender" to pressure a plea deal, why would they care about any of your rights. "Officer Safety", "Civil Asset Fortfeture", "Qualified Immunity", the list goes on and on. It is sad to think in this country, or maybe it has always been this way but getting a police badge means you have no become a legalised criminal with little or no recourse.

First off thank you for the clear and stright to the point advice. I live in NC and I got 3 years of probation and had to take a concealed carry class just for having my gun partially showing. It was a IWB holster and the grip was showing but in NC if you dont have the concealed carry permit it must be fully and i mean fully visible. Believe it or not if more than half the gun is not visible they consider it concealed, it's not a written law but we here in NC know how they practice their shady business. Just a heads up to any people in NC watching. Get your CCW and be done with it.
If the stop is unlawful, you have no obligation to provide the officer with any information.
I guess you’ll decide if it’s unlawful right? 😂😂SMDH
I have a friend who works for an airline, and who also has a handgun carry permit. One evening, when leaving work he was pulled over. When the cop walked up to the car, he let him know that he had a CCP and was carrying his weapon. We do not live in a mandatory disclosure state, but he mistakenly thought it was. The cop ordered him out of the car, took his gun, unloaded it and set it on the hood of the car with the slide locked open. He also handcuffed him, and wrote the ticket. Then he uncuffed him, and let him leave. The whole time the was in full view of cars driving by including his coworkers.
That should have been a lawsuit. . If the cop was not aware that the state law required disclosure, his actions in handcuffing an otherwise law abiding person could amount to an infringement of his rights to be secure from illegal seizure. This crap about unloading the firearm and handing it back that way just pisses one off.
@whorton4 not to mention I'm not comfortable with the firearms safety of some LEOs...

Fantastic & thorough explanation. Thank you.
Always keep up with the jurisdictional laws in which you carry so you are aware of current statutes.
Case in point: in the month since this video was posted, South Carolina carry laws have significantly changed and part of those changes includes no longer being a "must inform" state.
In Florida, some LEO's use tricky wording to make it sound like it is legal for them to remove your legally carried firearm (with ccw). They'll ask things like "For officer safety protocol, do you mind if I remove your firearm?". All I hear is "can I remove your firearm?". It happened once and I responded with "The safest place for my firearm is to remain in it's holstered position, which is where I prefer to keep it". He just said "uhhh, ok". I have seen too many videos of officers putzing around with a firearm they are not familiar with, then clearing it, empty the mag and field strip the firearm and placing it somewhere away from the driver, like the trunk or back seat area, in a pile of parts. One video I saw, the deputy even told the driver after he disassembled his firearm and placed the pile in the passenger seat to stand behind his vehicle and do not approach until he drives away. Most LEO's are way behind in their training for concealed carry encounters. I work with a bunch of LEO's and the one misconception is that all LEO's must be firearm experts. That is the furthest thing from the truth. There are some, but the vast majority are not and can barely pass annual quals.
Can you make a video discussing the legalities of a LEO removing your firearm during a traffic stop. Or if you could answer that here that would be fine too.
Thanks for your content.
A retired sheriff's deputy who is a friend of mine also recommended that if you are pulled over at night, once you are pulled over, turn on your interior light. This allows the officer to better see you and see that you are sitting calmly with your hands on the wheel. When they ask for your license and registration, say "Sure. My wallet is ____. May I reach for it?" In my state they always ask, "Do you have any firearms in the car?" I answer honestly and am usually told, "Ok, just get your license out." I've never had a problem doing this.
Exactly, that iis what was recommended in my CCW class back in '99. I've never had a problem with that approach. (but then, I've not even had a ticket since 2015.
As an ex Sheriff's Deputy myself, I would add that day or night you should roll all vehicle windows down, important to do it BEFORE officer exits his vehicle to approach. This is to facilitate their full view into your vehicle. If you wait to do this as officer is walking up to your vehicle he may think your just trying to "clear your fields of fire", and that would not be good.
I turned on my interior light also at a night time stop,I noticed the cop relaxed and started talking to me in a more friendly manner. Making a cop feel safe on a traffic stop is-GOOD-for your health. LOL.
Excellent video and very well done and informative.
I'm in Virginia, "notify when asked." I'm told that they already can see that I'm a CCP holder when they run my license. I frequently do not carry in my car due to some of the places I visit. I have no obligation to inform if I'm unarmed. But WHEN he asks about weapons because he sees my CCP on file, now what? It seems harmless to answer, "Officer, I am not carrying any weapons." Does he have reasonable suspicion that I'm carrying or transporting weapons if I have a CCP? From there, if he presses the issues, invoke the 5th and 4th? I've always wondered how that plays out, having a permit but not carrying. Thanks!
According to our deputy, you are under a custodial arrest when the lights come on. Sovereign or not, you should pull over when prompted. You have a Constitutionally protected Right to not answer ANY questions or provide ANY documentation that could be used against you. 4th & 5th Amendments. When under arrest, the DL contract does not trump the Constitution. Do not answer questions and do not consent to any searches.
Roll all your windows up except the window the officer approaches but only leave it down an inch or two. There is a good reason for this. Lock all doors.
Politely notify the officer that you do not answer questions, you do not consent to any searches and you are invoking your 4th and 5th amendment protections. If you are asked out of the vehicle, do your best to lock the car behind you. Keep hands visible at all times and follow officer's instructions
The concealed carry information appears on the cops computer before he/she even initiated the stop so don't volunteer the info even if asked.
As far as getting arrested in certain states over notifying the officer, you can later challenge the constitutionality of it. Be polite but clearly assert your rights. Shut up and remain quiet.
Remember, guys, when they tell you get on the train, you get on the train!
Follow the law!
The train to Auschwitz?
Great video. Thank you for sharing this information.
I have had a situation where I needed to get to my stop before stopping for the officer..
When you see the lights behind you, immediately call the dispatch of the local area... Inform them of your name and location and let them know there's an officer behind you. Of course, ask him if it's a legitimate officer behind you, once confirmed, let them know that you have an emergency and need to get to your destination.
For me, I had an IBM incident and needed to get to a bathroom. I informed them where I was going and requested leave to do so.
After everything was said and done everybody got a good laugh at it. The point is if your respectful with them they will be respectful to you. The problem is when you ignore them that's when they start getting pissed. And if they have to come get you, they're bringing an ass kicking with them.
I got pulled over in Arkansas one time almost to Memphis, I pull over in the police officer walks up to my window and he says do you know why I pulled you over? So I held up a bag of hostess donuts and said cuz you could smell it lol. He asked me do you want a ticket? To which I replied no, and then I educated him about Julio Iglesias AKA fluffy. And then he asked me again do you know why I pulled you over? I wasn't speeding. And I wasn't, and he said I pulled you over because your trailer tires were touching the solid white line. And so then I explained to him that the trailer axles were wider than the truck, and that if I was in the right lane I had to stay to the right just a little bit so nobody would get sideswiped or sideswiped me and, and if I was in the left lane I had to hug the left hand side a little bit to make sure that nobody could side swipe me on that side, and that I wouldn't accidentally sideswipe anybody else. Long story short, he understood why I did what I did and I did not get a ticket. And although it's okay to exercise all your amendments and constitutional stuff. Sometimes it's less hassle to just tell them what's going on. At least it's been that way for me. No I'm not saying through all your constitutional rights in the toilet, because they're yours. But if I had given him a hard time, I might have ended up with a ticket.
I haven't ever needed this information *knocks on wood*, but I sure appreciate you posting these videos. And I've saved your phone numbers in my phone just in case! Thanks for doing these!
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
We need federal guidelines that unify vehicle carry laws, super annoying to have to figure out rules state to state
The US Constitution says we have the right to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. All arms, anywhere, all the time. Period.
Not really, your states traffic laws are supreme. Loved that women who beat the ticket when she was breastfeeding while driving on the highway. Her state allowed the seatbelt to be off when breastfeeding.
@@billryland6199 Correct. The Constitution is the federal guideline for unifying laws. And the 10th Amendment makes everything else the purview of the states.
If they ask if I have any guns or weapons, I answer "I have nothing illegal" not yes or no.
"I'm drunk" First thing the gun on chest guy said to the Officer!
I always tell them that I am carrying today . They are always thankful and I can tell they relax a little bit.
The trick to a traffic stop is make the officer feel comfortable. Speak to him in his native language. Say things like "Oink Oink" and Snort wildly. Try to get to know the officer on a personal level. Ask him if he beats his husband. Keep it simple and friendly.

They also appreciate old timey gangster movies. They love it when you imitate Edward G Robinson, “Nyeah, copper, see? You’ll never take me alive, see? I’m packing heat and I ain’t afraid to use it, see? Nyeah!”
He’ll act like you’re insulting him but it’s all part of the fun that is a traffic stop!
Toss a few doughnuts his way.
How does must notify work? You’re never obligated to answer any questions to a cop
Your signature on the ccw application means that you consent to the rules of the ccw, which in those states is to notify. Don’t follow the rules, at best you lose the ccw, at worst face fines and jail time.
If you hold a CCW the officer knows before he gets to your window; the MDT will instantly alert him as soon as he enters your plates into his computer; if the car is not registered to you but a friend or relative that has a CCW he is going to expect you are armed. Not that more them half of the states have permit less carry and if you don't go get your permission from the gooberment to exercise your god given and constitutionally protected right he wont know until he asks; or you tell him in those states that require it. In NV if you are registered with the VA they will also be alerted by the MDT if you are a combat veteran and what your MOS was. All in the name of Officer Safety!
The black guy in the video has some great content out there; this traffic stop is on his youtube channel and it goes perfectly. He had several hand guns and long guns in the vehicle; I think the video was called "getting pulled over with a gun on my chest".
Careful some states will charge you with carrying with out having a CCW on you if you hand your CCW over; MA, MI & RI are states I've seen it happen more then once, while you have a firearm on your person.
Tn is one of the states where your permit is tied to your vehicle tag/s. To save time I just handed the officer my permit instead of my license because they're also tied to your license. The officer thanked me, asked what I was carrying & gave me a verbal warning instead of a written one.
I never hear these videos state the most important thing: Do not break speed, let your tags to lapse or insurance, etc.
Do not even give a reason to get pulled over.
says someone never pulled over.
This is the best video I ever seen on public safety..
You are awesome! Thank you for you advice - so true
I'm not a lawyer. I live in Texas, and have been pulled over by the DPS (State Troopers) at 3 AM in the middle of nowhere doing 85 in a 55 zone. The first thing I did was hit the flashers, pulled over, turned on the inside lights, and shut off the car. I put the key ring on my pinky finger and rolled the window down. I was polite, acknowledged that I was speeding. I got a warning and the Trooper said "Be careful, there's deer on the road, and you don't want to hit one." No stress, no guns being pulled, and we both left smiling after a meeting between two adults. Learn this lesson.
The only time I've ever "talked myself out" of a traffic ticket was late at night when I was a teenager. Apparently, I had veered over the mid-line a couple times and a cop behind saw it. It was late at night when I was driving back home after a football game. Told the officer I was just worn out and tired from the game, he saw I wasn't drunk, and he let me go on with a warning to keep it between the lines. In rare cases, just being honest and calm can make things easy.
This was awesome, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
What my experience has been is to make the officer feel as comfortable with you as possible. Let him see that you are not a threat to him....very important. Best advice is like the man in the video said is to keep your hands on the steering wheel. Both of them. I was pulled over and I do have a permit and I live in Indiana. I was speeding. I was doing 87 in a 55. As soon as I saw the cop coming towards me I found the first safe place to pull over and waited for him to turn around and pull up behind me. When he first walked up to the vehicle I said I want you to know that I will keep both of my hands on this steering wheel until you tell me different. I followed up with I have a 10-32, which is 10 code for weapon. I said I have a permit. I could tell he was more relaxed by me acting in this manner. He asked where my gun was and I said on my right hip. He asked for my driver's license and I told him that my wallet was in my right back pocket. Do you understand I have to remove my right hand from the steering wheel to retrieve it. He said yes, go ahead. I moved slowly and pulled out my wallet. I moved my right hand back to the steering wheel with wallet in hand. I removed my license and also started to remove my carry permit and he said he didn't need to see it. Showed him proof of insurance but my wife couldn't find a current registration in the glove box. He said don't worry about it. He went back to his vehicle and came back a couple minutes later and handed me my documents back. My hands had remained on the top of the steering wheel in plain view the whole time. He said slow it down and be safe and let me go. The moral of this story is to keep your hands on top of the steering wheel until you are ordered to retrieve something. Move slowly and keep a calm voice. I'm sure that he appreciated my mannerism and he could have laid it to me with wreckless driving. Which puts you on high risk insurance. So people put yourselves in the police officers shoes. Make him feel as though you are no threat at all. The last thing you want is a rookie to see a gun or think he sees one and starts fearing for his life.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Thanks, i learned a lot.
Great Advice, thanks!
In other countries, they don't need a 20-minute video on how not to get murdered by a coward with a badge.
I would like to include turn your lights on inside of your car/ truck if it’s at night I did do this and it helped me a great deal
IN SC we just got constitutional carry. The law states a "CWP holder or a person carrying a firearm without a permit pursuant to this law DOES NOT have a duty to notify a law enforcement officer that they are carrying a firearm". That doesn't stop me from handing them both my DL and my CWP when pulled over. They usually ask "Do you have your weapon on you?" With me the answer is always yes. They then say "Well don't reach for yours and I won't reach for mine." Cops around here are used to armed citizens and they don't mind. I have never had a cop ask to see my gun. I did have a lengthy discussion with one about what brand I carry. He was a gun guy like me. Small town so we don't often have issues with officers being bullies and the ones who are aren't in the dept. for long.
