I have followed these forums for quite a while now and decided to finally break the ice and start talking.
As a 19 year old I have been gifted 3 handguns that I know I own 100% legally, also I know I can Carry it in my car in most cases but here comes the question.
If a Leo wants to search my car (I have yet to even have a ticket in my life) and finds a handgun in my center console locked and loaded what should I do in that case?
Obviously I will be respectful and follow every order I am given but if I am asked "do you have anything illegal I should know about" I will state "no". Since the gun is not illegal.
But what if the cop is just unaware I am allowed to have it?
Or just thinks he is correct on the law.. Do the cuffs go on rite when he finds it? Or will I have the chance to ask for a superior to come out..or do they have to call a DA?
To sum up..
A cop that is unfamiliar with the right for me to have the gun finds it and puts me in cuffs for breaking the law..?
