And you're correct in using the word "armed" instead of "gun", which could be heard out of context by the officer's partner, if they have one, and cause an overreaction.

The video also serves to demonstrate something else: In a traffic stop, stay in your freakin' vehicle. Lock the door and roll the window down just enough to communicate clearly. Unless the officer orders you out, there's no sense in exposing yourself or the interior of your vehicle to a visual inspection that could serve as a pretext to a more extensive search.

Did the CCW holder tell the cop he had a legal weapon? Common Sense Party Jan 2013 #17
Should he really need to? Glaug-Eldare Jan 2013 #18
Yes. My CCW instructor was very clear. If a cop stops you, you tell him you are legally Common Sense Party Jan 2013 #19
