First time pulled over by police.

[Cano]

Yesterday evening I was coming back from grocery shopping with the family and got pulled over.
My temporary tags according to the system expired on 2005!!!! Yet I got them 20 days ago!!
Anywhoo I informed the Goose Creeck police officer that I had to inform him that I had a firearm in my glove box.
He said ok ran the temp licence plate again and it came back good.

Gave back my drivers licence and said have a good day!!
Wow was I impressed with the officers proffesionalism.
Back in CT it wouldve gone ALOT different. In Ct you do not have to inform the officer unless your asked.
My experience in CT was asked to exit the vehicle and temporarily detained and treated like a criminal until they checked and tripple checked to make sure you are legal.

Everything went well so I was very happy and so was the family.

thats probably most usual here.

ive handed over lic and permit and never heard a word.(road check)

they have come to the house, when i had the neighbor from hell, and i said im carrying and the guy says "you arent going to shoot me are you?" looked at where my range was and left.

Thanks for the good replies

I'm glad it went well, although you were not obligated to inform him of the gun in the glove box. It sounds like he was a reasonable fellow which is good to hear.

Edit to add: I realized what I said wasn't really what I meant. I assume your registration was in the glove box, so a notification may be a good idea (YMMV). What I meant was, if your registration was not in the same compartment as the gun, there was no obligation to mention the gun at all.

+2.

If you are carrying in a legal manner without your permit, no duty to inform.

If you are carrying under the terms of your permission slip the rules are different.
