I got pulled over this morning on the way to work for crossing the double yellow line--it was either that or rear end the guy in front of me that couldn't figure out where to turn! Anyway, when I pulled around the guy, I saw the cruiser in my rear view and sure enough he hits the lights.
Now in Ohio, CCW holders have to tell officers that we're carrying when we are stopped for a traffic offense. So, I pull over and lower the window and keep my hands on the wheel. Smithy 65 is on my right hip, wallet is in left hip pocket. Officer approaches and explains why he stopped me. I told him I was a permit holder with a firearm and asked what he wanted me to do, keeping my hands on the wheel the whole time. He simply asked for my id--I gave him DL and CCL and he returned to his cruiser. Returned very quickly, returned my two ids, thanked me for my cooperation and we both went on our way.
My hat is off to the Columbus OH PD.
