Carrying a Long gun or Hand gun

[VMI77]

Cops are just like the rest of us! They have more exposure to guns than most.
I am in the HVAC business (manage mostly) and have represented the last 2 company's I have worked for. We do alot of work in plants, ships and shipyards and my favorite is local law enforcement and cities.
Besides the perks of a wave versus a speeding ticket (45 in a 20), is you get to see what they have to go through. And you start to realize they are people with families just like us all.
If you are upfront with any officer I don't believe you will have any problems. Start getting pissy and it won't end well.
I do work on 2 local PD's and they both know I carry in my truck. One requires me to park my truck behind a fence where they receive the pick ups. We just have to keep the trucks locked and they have no problems. For both facilities I have keys to move around the facility without supervision. (background check)

Myself and one of my senior techs got caught in the jail section as they were bringing one in. We both carry knives on our belt and totally forgot about them. We walked behind the jailers desk and informed him. He simply told us to drop them in our pockets and stand there until he had him in a cell. We never got scolded.
Lessons learned.
#1 People make mistakes
#2 Be honest!
#3 always inform
#4 follow directions!

My neighbor is state. I don't ask too many questions as he does alot of undercover _______. Super cool guy! I ask him to speak to my wife about travel carry. She is new to this but he gave her the works! Told her 1 in the chamber and as close as you can get it! She's a big girl now. She actually keeps it in the couch next to her at home.

in short. If you get stopped, keep them informed, let them know what your intentions are and don't do anything stupid and you will have the best encounter of you life!

You think maybe your treatment might be a little different if you weren't friends with and/or well known to them because you work at the PD? You think doctors get the same treatment in hospitals as regular patients?

Awhile back myself and my son were headed up to dumas for a prairie dog shoot, was talking and wasn't paying attention to my speed, yup DPS Trooper pulls me over a ask me why I'm speeding told him it was unintentional, of course he can see the shooting tables, boxes marked .204 and .223, gun cases, etc. he asked where you headed, told him where we were going and told him I know you have an AR15 in the trunk of your car, we have plenty of ammo why don't you come with us, he smiled told me he wished he could and for me to slow down and for us to have fun!

no matter what be nice to the Officer!
