Exactly,,,,,cause then it is a "Oh, yeah. What you got?" "I have one of the new M&P Shields". "Really? How do you like it?" "Oh, it's great." "I've been trying to find one and every time I get close I just missed it by hours." "I know what you mean, I was just lucky I got mine." "Heard they have a new trigger."

These were not traffic stops. One was reporting a burglary and the other was a false alarm at my house.
Anything like saying, "I have a gun," or showing it to them is just nuts.![]()
BTW, a couple of weeks ago I heard a radio interview with a retired detective who was a technical adviser to some CSI-type TV show. He said in his experience that half the time they could get a suspect to talk himself into handcuffs without asking any questions that would invoke Miranda.
People just seem to have an urge to talk themselves into trouble.

I never thought about this scenario. It could turn into a great social event. Maybe I should change my opinion on disclosures to LEOs.txbirddog wrote:Exactly,,,,,cause then it is a "Oh, yeah.

Those are the guys that worry me. Maybe we should wear our CHL badge when calling them.rtschl wrote: . . . After they were done searching, the K9 officer asked if I was armed and I said yes. He "read me the riot act" about not notifying him and showing my CHL to him. . . . I was polite and he was too... just telling me I didn't follow the law and that I am required to let him know I have a CHL. He reiterated that it was for his safety. I again said that I was not carrying under the authority of my CHL but even if I was, the statute only requires notification when an officer asks for identification. I was never asked. He again said it was for his safety and that in the future always show my CHL. . . .
