I was at lunch at my place of employment today and there are always some LEOs around eating in the cafeteria. I was standing trying to choose something and a Buncombe County deputy sheriff came up. As we were waiting, I asked his opinion of open carry and he basically said it's your right and that he definitely supported it. I asked if that was the general attitude of the department and he said yes.
We continued talking and since I'm left handed, asked him about carrying in a holster in a car on my left side. I am concerned about it being considered CC since an officer wouldn't be able to see it. He said, in his opinion, it would not be...but that it is dependent on the officer.
He went on to suggest that if stopped, you take the handgun out of the holster and put it on the dash before the officer approaches the car. I thanked him for the conversation. As I think about it, it seems like a really bad idea to be handling a gun if stopped and a LEO is approaching the car. Am I wrong?
