[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1832944, member: 7488"] While we are piling on, I'll share that a Captain of the South Coffeyville PD admonished me because my weapon was not visible at the time he walked up to the vehicle. Sure, I notified him when he got to my window, but sometime between him lighting me up and approaching my car,[I] I was supposed to have produced the weapon and laid it on the dash[/I] along with my license. Because drawing a gun from my pants while an officer is approaching is a wise idea. :laugh6: He even threatened to seize my firearm for not having it laid out for him to see. I guess he missed the parts in the SDA that reference what authority he has. I don't sweat it as the outcome was not affected, but it is frustrating and could have gotten messy (legally) in a hurry had he tried to confiscate my weapon. For the record, OHP was very professional when dealing with me last summer. Even let me keep the car running (with the wife and kids in it) while he wrote me my warning. [/QUOTE]
