I live in MI(turned 21 this year and got my CPL couple months ago) and about a week ago I was stopped for going 70 in a 55 Wasn't really paying attention to how fast I was going, just kind of looking out the window enjoying the view of the countryside. In MI you must immediately disclose to a "peace officer" when you come in direct contact w/ them that you are packing So as I handed him my DL, registration and POI, I also handed him my CPL and informed him that I had a concealed pistol. His eyes got as big as saucers. I was surprised. (maybee it was the fact that everyone tells me I look 16 ) He asked me where it was, and I told him it was in my right pants pocket.(its a 5shot taurus 2" 357) He then told me that he needed to "secure" my "weapon"(not that it wasn't secure in my posession). He had me step out of the vehicle(made me feel like a criminal) and told me to slowly hand him my gun. I told him that I would not hand him my pistol, but that he could take it out of my pocket himself(the last thing I wanted was have him drill his Sig 9mm into the side of my head because he thought I was reaching into my pocket too quickly, not to mention it would also be on camera)He didn't seem to have a problem w/ taking it himself, he reached into my pocket and "secured" it, then went back to his car, I got in mine, then he did whatever cops do, then came to my window. He handed me my papers and then he handed me back my loaded pistol w/ the butt pointing at me and the barrel aimed directly into his chest. I thought to myself "this guy has got to be an idiot" not to mean any dis respect but an officer that has been through any training ought to know better than that.
He then proceeded to tell me to drive carefull and have a nice day. Never did he give me a ticket and I am still wondering why?
So my question is "Has anyone gone through a traffic stop w/ a concealed and does my incident seem out of the ordinary?"
7mm
