5 Safety Tips for Getting Pulled Over While Carrying a Concealed Firearm(OH rules)

The police are nervous when they pull you over. They don't know you. They don't know what you will do. They have to deal with some of the most evil, violent, and completely unpredictable people on earth. They don't want to die. So if you are legally carrying a concealed firearm when you are stopped by the police and you make any sudden or threatening move, you just might get shot.

So what should you do, as a law-abiding citizen with a concealed-carry weapon, when you are stopped by the police? Here are the official guidelines, according to the laws of my state (Ohio). They are probably the same for other states as well. I have followed these rules after getting pulled over, and everything turned out just fine (thank God).

Obviously, the point of this exorcize is to know the rules of engagement for your state, not just the state of Ohio.

“I’ve been pulled over twice and never had a problem either. As a side note, if I’m going somewhere some evening and know I’m going to have a drink or two, I leave it home....... “

There are several CCW carriers in my social group. When we go out one or two of us abstain and carry. We’ve coined a phrase for it, “3D”, Designated Driver and Defense.

>>If you are stopped by the police, whether you are in your car, or on a motorcycle,<<

In Texas, everything is tied to your lic. plate. Reg., insurance, inspection, CHL, biometrics to include your digital pic.

When an officer lights you up, he runs the plate and has a wealth of information pop up on his laptop mounted in the car. True, the vehicle could be freshly stolen and may not show up as such, so officer vigilance is there.

If the officer asks you, tell him you have a weapon in the vehicle, otherwise routine traffic stops there is no need to tell the officer you have a weapon. In Texas, we have the castle doctrine as well as CHL. That meaning, it is lawful to have a concealed handgun in your vehicle whether or not you hold a CHL. CHL just allows you to have it on your person.

I would just include my CCW permit with my license, reg, and insurance.

Rule number one; Whether armed or not, don’tact like an ass when in contact with police. You likely won’t get plugged.

Hmmm. Let’s see if we can get this straight. You get pulled over for yakking on a cell phone because it’s a distraction but LEO’s viewing their portable PC while driving is okay. LOL! Yup. Comply or maybe die.

The article reminds me of Chris Rock’s advice. While a bit more specific it applies to any driver.

Sage advice... and funny.

True dat. In Illinois we are required to answer truthfully if asked. But there is no duty to proactively inform.

5 Safety Tips for Getting Pulled Over While Carrying a Concealed Firearm(OH rules)

1. Gun the motor. Run from them. The best way to avoid a traffic stop is to elude the officers.

2. Ditch your car and run on foot to a prepared location, which should have as a minimum, a 7.62mm machine gun mounted on a tripod, and have a good clear field of vision. Employ Claymore mines on areas with limited visibility.

3. Mount a small jet aircraft on the top of your car. The minute things get dicey, rev up the engines and fly to safety.

4. Wear X1-Power Armor, found in the Fallout 4 game. Not only will your plasma rifle be easier to handle, but the suit is impervious to most small arm fire.

5. Deploy six T-800 Terminator cyborgs. It's built on a hyperalloy combat chassis, microprocessor-controlled. Fully armored; very tough.

I keep license, registration, and insurance card in a paper clip, tucked into an elastic pocket thingy on my sun visor, so it’s never necessary to rummage in my glove box.
It’s quickly accessible and all in my left hand, extended out the window before the cop even exits his patrol car.
Right hand stays atop steering wheel.Empty left hand remains out the window, waiting for him to hand over documents and ticket.
If necessary to divulge whereabouts of anything else, hands remain on steering wheel, and I answer politely and point gingerly with an index finger.

State the license first, then the gun.

My number one rule:
Be polite, friendly and smile.
We’re the good guys.
Hasn’t failed me yet, but I don’t get pulled over.

It’s usually pretty smart to stick the firearm out the window, too, that way the officer knows where it is and can see clearly that you are a CCW holder.

--just a pointer for traffic stops whether packing or not-

-I was stopped several years ago by a motorcycle cop who must have been hiding behind the "Construction Zone " sign.

As was my habit I pulled over , stopped ,turned the engine off and UNBUCKLED MY SEAT BELT before putting my hands on top of the steering wheel-- I managed to talk my way out of a citation for the seat belt ---

I feel ya RC. The last two times I was pulled over, I DESERVED tickets but didn’t get ‘em as the policeman’s attention was on the three(3) FINE firearms that I had placed on the dash. Both times the Po-Po wanted to “run the numbers” on said arms and had overlooked WHY they stopped me to begin with. Bwahahaha ! A Colt M1991A1(Compact Model).45, Colt Anaconda and WWII era Mauser HSc. IMHO, they ignored my “reckless” driving just because they got to fondle my precious babies !

I should add that I’m a respectful, DEPLORABLE, law abiding white man with a record that’s cleaner than the driven snow that falls above the arctic circle.

Snoot ;o)

Personally, I see handing over my CCW card as a really quick and easy way to let cops know that I am one of the good guys that they don2have to worry about.

And wave it around a bit so they can tell just what kind it is.
