Re: Similar to the DPS officer running the Serial thread, bu

I wouldn't think twice before calling the officer or his supervisor in my sweetest and most upbeat and polite voice and thanking them for their work and politely acknowledging their right to disarm a CHL when they have concerns over their safety, and empathizing with the risks to their safety they face each day, and asking to have a conversation on how we might better be able to work together. Even if they weren't thrilled, I can't imagine they'd outright say no. I'd ask what their experiences have been over it being safer to handle and disarm a foreign firearm than to leave it on a CHL holder and I'd then suggest my own thoughts on how that might go smoother, like not placing the firearm on the unprotected vehicle, and I'd hope that the positive conversation would change their way of handling things in the future.

And if I thought there was any remaining tension, I'd send cookies with a thank you note after. :cool:

Any LEOs here want to tell me how that would be taken?

I wonder how he disarms someone using a SmartCarry. :lol:
Would it be reasonable for a female using SmartCarry or a thigh carry or a shoulder carry for that matter to say she wanted a female officer to disarm her? Or that she didn't want the officer looking down her pants as she disarmed? How would that play out maintaining proper modesty, respect, dignity, and safety?
