Not sure exactly what happened here, but looks like the cop panicked — perhaps a bad combination of poor training of both cop and armed citizen, but facts are few at this point.
If you are armed and stopped by police:
- NEVER say “I’m armed” or “I have a gun” or the equivalent. Police are trained to respond to such comments, autonomically.
- Have your permit out before the police approach the car.
- Hands “10 and 2” on the wheel.
If attacked, do you want to be Victor or Victim?
