[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 1591524, member: 4676"] I don't have a CCW (yet?), but no way in h@#$ would I just whip out my my carry piece before an officer had a chance to look at and digest my CCW card... There was a time I got pulled over pretty frequently... I got into the practice of telling officers I was going to reach for the wallet in my pocket to show them my DL or even that I was going to reach for the glovebox to get the insurance. Most of the time they just say "Okay" and if it's night they'll usually point the flashlight wherever I said I was going. I also would roll down the window and stick my one hand on the window opening and the other on the wheel while they were walking up. I got the advice from a relative of a LEO that they really like it if your hands are somewhere easily visible when they approach. I can't say I wouldn't be same. He also commented that doing a small part to help the officer feel more comfortable about you as they are "feeling out" the stop can go a long way in how the rest of the stop goes. I took that advice to heart. I mean, really, what is most likely to have the best outcome for you when the officer has the ticket pad in his hand: you acting like a jerk, or you acting in a way he doesn't feel threatened. Seems pretty logical.. [/QUOTE]
