I was shocked the first time I was pulled over. I had my weapon hidden in the center console (I have a concealed carry permit) when I was stopped for expired registration. I immediately handed him my drivers license and concealed carry permit and told him I had a loaded firearm in the center console where my registration and insurance papers were. He nonchalantly said: "No problem, I just need your papers." I reached into the console, where the gun was then exposed and got my papers and handed them to him. I don't even think he put his hand on his gun. I can't even feature this happening up in the northeast.
True....most are “No problem” cops, and will not freak. But you get some that always want to “run the numbers” and all that. Most leave my gun on the dash, others take it and put it on the top of the car until leaving. I put it on dash even when conceal carry, just to eliminate the reaching aspect if they want to check it. And you are right... Probably a drawn on situation up north...lol
