So today in a hurry to work, i was pulled over by UHP. I was always curious how the officer would handle someone with a CFP and how that would go. Well, today i got my answer. (be careful what you wish for) He introduced himself and told me why he pulled me over. Then asked for my license. All the while he's talking, i have my hands securely holding the steeringwheel. I told him i'd be happy to produce my license but needed to inform him i had a CFP and did have my firearm. He resonded saying "without reaching, where is it." Mine was in my center console. He said don't reach for it, and we're good. Went back to his car, and came back after a couple min. Handed me my license and thanked me for informing him of the firearm and that i handled it perfectly. He told me of a few instances where some have grabbed the firearm and showed it to him.
A very bad decision. After being pulled over for going too fast as well as not having my Insurance or Registration in my vehicle, i was let go with only a warning.
So between the CFP and also working part time at the gas station he used to frequent, overall a good experience. (because i got a warning. I'd be ticked if not LOL)
Did not have to inform him, but i'd rather that then him figure it out and then be ticked. If it were my in that cruiser, i'd want to know.
