Why is a smart-assed reply necessary? Why not say you have a weapon and a permit to carry it? I do this all the time in SC. My permit and drivers license are together in my billfold. When the cop asks for my license at the DUI roadblock, I hand him both. This indicates a weapon is present with no threat to the officer. Most say thank you, sir, and I’m on my way. But a smart-assed remark is asking for a trifle ticket. Stupid and not necessary, and frankly disrespectful if someone doing a dangerous job.
Because this is what the Chief of Police in my area told us to say “none that you should be concerned bout.” Especially after you have shown the officer your CWCL.
Do I trust you -— or him.?
