Oh, no thanks. I haven’t done that kind of research to just spit out 10 digit speculations. I’ll leave that to you. But again, I get it. Just a small amount of bad outcomes compared to the overall picture, who cares why it went bad when it’s such a minuscule number, right? Nobody’s perfect after all. Why would anyone aspire to never make a lethal mistake? People just expect too much nowadays.

I'll never forget the time I was pulled over in Knowwhereville, Jackass County MS for doing 5mph over the speed limit. I showed the officer my permit, DL, VA card, and Dick Tracy Detective card that belonged to my Grandpa. The officer said, "Think fast, Marine!" and fired several times at my head! He then said, "I musta shot that old cap gun 20 times at ya! Just put'en the fear of God in ya young man!"
I then told him how cool that old roll cap gun was and how jealous I was because they don't make them like that anymore.
He gave me a warning and said, "Stay out of trouble son, cause next time I might have to use my old Smith .357!"

The CHP permit law at La. RS 40:1379.3.I, outlines the duty to inform and that failure to do so can result in permit revocation.
At 40:1379.3.L an additional “catch all” penalty provision is set forth:
L. Anyone who carries and conceals a handgun in violation of any provision of this Section, unless authorized to do so by another provision of the law, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both.
Act 1 of the Session during which constitutional carry was passed amends 40:1379.3, and there are no added penalties specific to failure to inform for CC nor is there an amendment to L.
So my guess is that the penalty will be up to $500 fine and/or 6 mos in jail. If you’re not an ass about it I’d imagine a $500 fine is worst case. I see nothing that would result in loss of CC rights.

I appreciate the info you provided for sure. The problem with the law is we have the info that’s given to us but the same questions still remain.The CHP permit law at La. RS 40:1379.3.I, outlines the duty to inform and that failure to do so can result in permit revocation.

No problem, using a rusty screwdriver to pop that sucker out of there. O wow, another idiot scratch on your Staccato or Wilson. Ha Ha how's that for a laugh?
"Brakin' the law, brakin' the law"Y'all a bunch of scofflaws having way too many interactions with the popo.

You're making a strawman argument. I did not say that police were perfect. Nor did I say bad outcomes shouldn't be looked at to see if something better could be done. It seems you are pretending I did because that's an easier question for you to answer. The suggestion was made that stories like the ones suggested earlier are not anomalies. To refresh your memory, here is the quote.
If the stories are not anomalies (something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected) then the number of stories should be a significant portion of the number of interactions. If the stories represent a small fraction of the number of interactions, then the stories are, by definition, anomalies.
Remember, make that have it on vinyl. And was still out from.a few days ago, when it was spinning

Hey bro, relax. I told you I get it. I’m in your corner. Straw man argument? What? Ain’t nobody arguing bro. It’s all good.
Not sure what you mean about Jstudz quote. I didn’t say that. That ain’t even me bro. Anomalies… nah bro. Not my direct quote. I never said that word at all. Jstudz bro. Jstudz.
British Steel. I still have that on cassette.
Although you didn't say it, you decided to jump in and quote my reply to his claim. It's reasonable to conclude you wanted to play his game too.
There is zero harm in informing the cop if you are carrying vs he finds it on his own and now trust has gone out the window. It is also a matter of respect towards the cops if you inform whether you are “required” to or not. I know it goes a long, loooong way with me during an interaction.
Gaining the Officer's trust and confidence will go a long way. If you advise him that you are carrying, he might advise you to be cool. Or he may disarm you, and after the encounter allow you to go on your way after returning your unloaded weapon back to you. Hint: I would never hand anyone a loaded weapon, or place it in their car where it is easily accessible to shoot me in the back while I'm returning to my unit. I wouldn't disassemble the weapon, but I might place it unloaded in the trunk or hatchback and advise you to retrieve it and reload it after I have left the scene. But IF you don't advise him, and he discovers you are carrying, it raises his "Spidey" senses, wonders what you might be trying to hide from him, etc. At that point he will probably run the gun to make sure it's not stolen, run you to make sure you don't fit the "95.1 Convicted Felon in possession of a firearm" criteria, or even check further to make sure he isn't missing anything. He might consider that you are into something a little more than just traffic violations, and if he happens to find any illicit narcotics, it would make you guilty of a felony by possession of a firearm while in possession of narcotics. And there you are standing on the side of the road, obviously wishing you could be on your way and could have been if only you advised him you were carrying. If you are up front and "cool" with the Officer, you might very well be on your way without even a ticket. So play it any way you wish. A decent attitude and compliance goes a long way.

Ah, no games bro. I quoted your post and said I get it. I didn’t quote his post. I really didn’t even pay attention to his post. Your post is a fine stand alone statement. It’s a good post bro. I get it. I even liked your post. Nobody playing games with you bro. Not at all dude.
