OK, I was pulled over by a Caliban CHP in San Clemente over some minor stuff, no license plates. I told the officer, it was a brand new truck with only a temp. dealer plates.
He asked the usual, driver license, etc. I handed him the paperwork plus my CCW. Here is where it gets sorta interesting, I ended up off the truck and he asked if I have my guns with me, I told him yes, IWB right side.
He pulled it out of the holster then asked if I have any more guns, I said yea, he told me to pull it out myself b/c it was in an odd spot. OK, he then placed the guns on the front seat of his cruiser. Next thing, he asked me again if I have any other guns?
He never mentioned the word weapons at any point, he kept saying if I have any other guns besides the two. Of course, I said, guns? no those are the only 2 I'm allowed to carry.
My question is a knife considered a Gun? I'm not implying anything but hey people carry pocket knives for various valid reasons.
He called in my DL and CCW, checked out fine. He then handed my guns back and was told to aboutface to reholster.
At this point, he was friendlier and was in a talking mood. He even said, "I hope you understand why I pulled you over", "The fact that you are driving with no plates", "You're a young guy driving a new Hummer".
Overall, it went pretty smoothly, save for some minor inconvenience.
