Like any profession in life, there are a variety of personalities. There are many officers who will be understanding if someone forgot their wallet at home when they left for work that morning. There are some officers that aren't so understanding. I've seen people arrested for nitpicky stuff that fries my mind, and I've seen other situations resolved without any trouble.gigag04 wrote:Really?Jumping Frog wrote:It all depends on whether the LEO is a Richard or not.
For example, I have a friend in Ohio where the law requires a licensee to notify an LEO "promptly" when they are licensed and armed. He was stopped, the officer was talking, he tried to interrupt the officer to notify and the officer told him to shut up. After he was arrested for failure to notify "promptly" and went to trial, the dashcam footage played to the jury showed that it took him 51 seconds to notify (he was acquitted but still had to absorb attorney costs). I don't mean to offend you, personally, because I've read your posts and respect your opinion. But I am sorry, that officer was a Richard. It happens.
Similarly, in the OP scenario, it all depends on who he runs into. I have ceased being surprised by the cases where law-abiding, gunowner citizens run into the wrong officer.
