Damn just got home from being stopped by the CHP. Some loser guy was driving around my neighborhood and stopped right by my house until he saw me in my garage and took off. The race was on! I had just got home from my bike ride and saw him driving down my street. He circled and came back again.I hopped in my truck and went after him to get his license number and called it in to the Concord Police to run his plate.
Followed him onto HW4 and I got off in Bay Point then came back. I got off on Willow Pass Road and totally ran a stop sign because I was just a little nervous. Was in too much hurry to get back home. Plus I was frigging pissed off.The CHP I guess was behind me a little ways and stopped me right away.
I confirmed my story by showing them my cell phone and the number to the CPD. She then asked me the big question: If I had any weapons in my truck. I don't think Ihad to declare it but did anyways because I didn'twant any problemslike I do with the CPD all the time and told them I had a 9mm handgun underneath my passengerseat.
They took it out of the case and did ainspection to make sure itwas in fact unloaded. They gave it back to me 10 min. later and put it back underneath my passenger seat for me. She said it's really suppose to be in the very back of my truck in the camper shell which I know isn't true! As long as your gun is locked up and unloaded you can put it anywhere in your vehicle correct???
When I took off to get this guys license number I didn't have my wallet or drivers license with me. So she let me get away with running the stop sign which really surprised me.She was really cool about it! I only got a fix-it ticket for my license. Just have to show it to any officer and have it signed off.
So in cases like this, are we required to tell them if we have any weapons in our vehicle even if they are legally locked up and unloaded? Usually I have loaded mags seperate from my gun sitting in my truck. I'm kind of glad I didn't this time. Both of the mags were unloaded. I wonder how different things would have turned out if I had loaded mags laying around in my truck even though the gun was locked up and unloaded. You know how nervous law enforcement gets in situations like that.
