“IN Georgia, if you are a CCW carrier, you are NOT legally required to state such”
This is correct. Personally I would hand the cop my license and CC license together and let him decided what he wants to ask about it. Just to avoid problems.
Mr. GG2 got pulled over for a taillight out last year and he handed both licenses over. The cop asked him if he was carrying and he said yes on his strong side with 2 mags on his weak side. He told the cop he had an XDM. Then the cop asked if he had any other weapons and Mr. GG2 said a Mossberg 500 tactical on the back seat and a stubby in the sidepocket of the driver’s door. The cop said “whoa!” and started laughing. Asked if they were all loaded and Mr. GG2 said if they weren’t they would just be fancy clubs. They both laughed, the cop went and ran the plates and then told Mr. GG2 to get the taillight fixed and have a good day.
Your demeanor has a great deal to do with interacting with law enforcement.
You are correct. I never said in my statement to be an asshole about the reply. It was also meant to convey to the officer that there was no harm here for him.. I am not an asshole by nature and I don’t project that. BUT I DO KNOW MY RIGHTS, BY DAMN.
Yep!
Even though I run the Jack Booted Thug ping list, I am invariably polite and respectful to LEOs, and they are almost invariably polite and respectful back. The one that wasn't was only a little snarky. OTOH, I'd just totaled two cars by sliding on ice and snow...
