Spencer police took my firearm after identifying myself as a person with an SDA permit.

Then Troy would have given directions to a good ham sammich.

I'm just glad the cop did not catch you gettin "busy" in the parking lot. Gun and a "sex crime" all in the same night. Touchdown!

I don't know he took his gun, he might of took his girl too
 
When he asked for the gun, you should have jerked it out of your holster real quick and yelled, "You want my gun?!"

I'm certain that would have made the whole experience silk smooth... heh
 
I, personally, would file a complaint in hopes that the cop may become educated on what to do next time to avoid this same outcome.

I hate hearing stories that tarnish the reputation of our law enforcement. That was totally unprofessional, and unacceptable. In my profession I would be fired for doing something relating in severity. But I'm sure this officer will not even get a verbal warning about this. Therefore, he has probably acted this way before, and will continue to do so in the future, unless corrective action is taken.

I would love to make a complaint or even sue for punitive damages and donate the proceeds to the NRA minus my attorney fees.I'm not interested in being compensated I just dont want to have it happen again to myself or anyone else. But I spoke to Doug Frisen (Jerome Ersland's current attorney) and He said that sadly I cant do much. "other then write a letter". That in my opinion will more than likely be read and get me put me on the retaliate list then promptly be used as toilet paper.

On a side note today I was in H and H gun range today and was talking to a friend that works there and told him what happened when a retired state trooper that listened in told me that "I should just get over it." I have to say I'm starting to see a common pattern with the opinion of some(not all) of the law enforcement in the area. I guess I'm just supposed to get use to the idea of not having rights....
 
Sorry about how you were treated but I gotta give props to the young MC Cop in Bethany that pulled me over about a month ago.
I informed him that I was carrying & gave him my license & he was absolutely professional about it.
In fact, he no less than 3 different times throughout the course of the stop told me that he was glad I was exercising my right to carry.
Never made a big deal of it, just asked where it was in the vehicle.
 
I once had an officer give me my ccw back and say that he didn't need that....I was like ok.... then one or two other stops went smoothly with them only asking its location and what type it was. All in norman though.
 
I really should give a fair argument also. I did have a really nice police officer that I was pulled over by here in Edmond. I had a brake light out and he just pulled me over to let me know. younger officer too. To my experience the younger officers are the ones that generally make me nervous. They usually ,but not always are a little more aggressive in my opinion. The guys that have been on for a while usually have seen enough action and are a little more relaxed. but this guy was polite and said that he was glad I was carrying as it makes his job easier since he believed it helped to deter crime. He and I shot the wind for a bit about guns and then I was on my way. probably the most pleasant traffic stop I ever had.

For the record I did want to say my date was not a hooker and we were not doing anything other than talking. but next time we are out I will try to ask her to move to a better location as the "hood" that she lives in is not an acceptable place lol :)
 
Had some interaction with a lady cop in B.A. I went ahead and told her I was carrying, just in case it came up later and she might be peeved I didn't tell her at first contact. She was cool, "Don't pull yours and I won't pull mine" Best answer I have ever heard so far.

I might have replied, "if I get it out and get it up, can we get it on?" but she would only get that of she was a TDSA graduate.
 
When an officer oversteps their boundries a little I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt. When they violate the law or their policy it needs to be addressed by their agency.

File a complaint and ask to be notified of the resolution of the complaint investigation.

There are a lot of professional officers out there who treat people with respect and do the right thing. Most of them made lots of mistakes and had some growing up to do before they got there.

Complaining on them brings attention to off task behavior and helps in that learning/growing process. Think about it, how does an agency fix a problem officer if they don't know what he is doing out there by himself at 0300.

If you don't complain you are allowing the behavior to continue unchecked.

My .02 worth.
