In reply to the discussion: Should you have to tell a police officer you're carrying a gun? [View all]safeinOhio
(32,676 posts)about routine pull overs for fix it type stops where the person pulls a gun and shoots the cop. They carry for their own protection and if they think they see a gun under your shirt, you will be pulled out, thrown to the ground with a knee on your neck. While beating the shit out of you they will be yelling "stop resisting". Some cops are nice and well trained, others aren't, but just like a citizen that carries for that unsuspecting situation, cops are ready for anything. I suggest you tell them you have a gun in the car or on your person right off the bat.
I only carry with deep conceal. I have a small 32 belly gun that I have made into a wallet for my back pocket. I also have a "Thunderwear holster" I carry with wearing over size pleated pants. I carry a 9mm glock that can't be made out, but I do get lots of smiles from the ladies. I have a leather vest made for carry, but like most conceal things, the weight of the weapon makes it lean to one side and I hate that.
Cops do not like surprises.
