I think you would thick somewhat differently if you were on the pointy end of the stick. Police officers are generally speaking, pulling you over because you may have done something to call attention to you or your automoble. How can he know who you really are until he has your information in hand and has made a comparison of your identification and you. For all he or she knows you may have just stolen the car at gun point 2 mins before you got pulled over for a warning because the headlight is out. If you took it at gun point and don't want to go to jail, anything can happen.

And that I believe is the point the retired officer was trying to make. They must approach every interaction with the public with a jaundiced eye, until the situation becomes clear how it is going to go.

Not taking sides really just saying if I wore a badge, and wanted to make it to retirement. I would approach with caution and be perpared for anything and everything to go south, until I knew your intentions. Mine would have been clear when I turned on the blue light. There is a problem, real or percieved, and I'm going to investigate.

Again just trying to put things in perspective.

The only point of contention I have with the former officers reply is that part about a permit to transport a firearm. In most states it is regulated how firearms can be transported in a personal vehical, in every instance of travel intrastate or interstate for personal reasons in a personal vehical the governing law for your state of residence, is the law the officer "has to follow", as long as you are passing through that state on your way to your destination. Even if that state does not allow transport of firearms in vehicals by residents of that state. Can you catch some greif by doing exactly that? Certainly. Happens all the time.

That's why you should know the laws of the states you are planing to visit, and act accordingly. If you assume the police person of some small town or State Highway patrol person is up to snuff on interstate movement of privately owned firearms in a state other than your home state, you only have yourself really to blame, since ignorence of the law can be found on both sides.

I do agree that the concealed carry of a firearm should be extended to all that can prove compitancy with a hand gun, and that universal carry in all states should be recognized as a right, not a priviledge.
