I have a florida ccw permit and from what I was told by the permit people it is legal to keep my gun loaded "about my person" so to speak like in my glove box or center console. I had a cop tell me that if he pulls me over and my gun is anywhere except on my person that I was going to jail,he also said if I diddn't disclose I was armed at a traffic stop and for any reason he found I was going to jail because I was breaking the law He said the permit is to carry a loaded concealed gun on my person not in the vehical where I could ambush him with
My question is I know florida law says I do not have to disclose wether Iam armed or not. If a cop asks me i'll tell him about I won't lie to him but I won't volunteer the fact I have a gun either. I've been stopped for stupid things like speeding (going like 10 miles over the limit) or rolling through a stop sign when no one else is coming the other way. Both time the cop ran my drivers license and nothing mentioned about my CCW permit I guess they're not tied in here.
basicly is this right can a cop arrestes me if he thinks i'am breaking the law? Thiml being the key word here I mean I am not one to disrespect anyone least of all cops but if I'am treated like ???? by anyone they will get it right back. My question how do you arguee politely with a cop who thinks he knows that law period? I haven't had this come up but if I ever run into an LEO like this guy I wanna be prepared.
