OK.
I just stopped a guy for speeding and no seatbelt. I approach and ask for his license and registration. He hands me his license and LA CHP without sayng a word. However, he keeps his hands on the steering wheel. I say OK, where is the weapon located? He says in the center console.
I ask him to step out and stand in the front of his vehicle. He complies but is visibly upset over the probability of getting a ticket. I grab the weapon out of the glove box, rusty AMT 380 semi in a leather pocket holster. I place it on the rear bumper of his vehicle and stand there to write his ticket.
I approach the front of his vehicle, and ask if his registration is in the glove box. He begins to walk towards his passenger side as if to go get the registration. I advise him I did not tell him to move, I only asked him if he had it in his glove box. He said yes and seems aggravated. Oh well.
I go around and of course can't find it. I let that one slide. I finish writing his citations. I go to clear the weapon as I usually do before I return it and guess what?
....NO BULLETS.
I ask him, "do you realize you have a weapon with no ammunition?"
He states, "I have plenty of ammo, but keeping it in is dangerous."
I shake my head, give him his copy, and send his dumbass on his way.
Lessons:
#1- The only time you will get away with interupting an officer is to say,"Officer, I just want to let you know I have a weapon in the vehicle." You are required to do this by law, and it is just smart.
#2. Keep both hands on the steering wheel.
#3. Follow whatever instructions the officer tells you. If he is a dick, *******, jerk, or has "a bad tone" file a complaint or whatever, but just do it and be quiet. It will work out better for you.
#4. If he has any offficer safety skills, he will at least clear the weapon and instruct you not to load it until he drives away. I actually take the slide off on most weapons.
#5. HAVE FREAKIN BulLETS IN YOUR GUN.
