So I Was Shooting Some Guns.....

[Strike For The South]

4 people, white (I assume?), driving a bit to fast, acting with respect, at once admitting to having fire arms for safety of themselves and officer...


What did you expect? To be forced to lay spread eagle with a helicopter hovering above till the reinforcements from the national guard made it there?

2 of us were white 2 of us including whom the guns were owned by were hispanic

Did you feel like a man?

I wake up every morning and feel like a man. Thanks for asking Sven

Well, transporting weapons is different than carrying. Showing a carry license is just a widely accepted way of letting law enforcement know a person is armed without any awkward (and potentially misunderstood) language. You should educate yourself on your local laws if you intend on making shooting a hobby, but as far as I know you can transport weapons without a license in most states and certainly in the South. For example, not everyone who goes to the range to practice long range competitive marksmanship has or wants a carry license for self defense.

How would you have liked to cop to handle it? A big part of being a police officer is situational judgment. He obviously and correctly judged you not to be a threat. (I don't think most criminals would announce the fact that they have weapons in the vehicle.) Would you have liked him to assume criminal or malicious intent simply for weapons possession?

No I just figured he would err on the side of caution. I don't shoot much and have never been pulled over with weapons I was just wondering what the protocol was, guess it wasnt to out of the ordinary

Not to mention I'm generally with older people when I go. I guess now I should probably edumacate my self

Congrats on the shot, by the way. I've been skeet shooting for years and have yet to do that.

Better lucky than good my friend

You were in Texas, you immediately announced there were weapons in the car, and you had your hands on your head.
