Pulled over while carrying on out of state permit

[ISCS Yoda]

Once, in Oklahoma

No issue. Reciprocity recognized, speeding ticket issued, have a nice day.

I was the passenger.

In Illinois we don't have to declare we are carrying but one of the first things out of a LEO's mouth will be are there any weapons on you or in the vehicle .. Our Conceal Carry License will show when they run your Drivers license ..

So if I was pulled over I would declare immediately .. Handing my CC license to him as I give him my Drivers license ..

Saying -- I have a Conceal Carry License and I am carrying at 4 o'clock how would you like to proceed .. after a reply by him I would continue with - my License is in my left back pocket opposite of my weapon ..

I will not say "GUN" ever and WEAPON" only after getting a reply from him after telling him of my CC License .. while initially talking to them ..

But neither me or my wife have been pulled over since 1976 .. as we both follow speed limits and all other driving laws including making a complete stop at a Stop sign .. no rolling stops !! so there is little to no reason to be pulled over .. Going thru a road block on vacation in Arizona .. the State police there looked in the back of my Jeep and waved me thru not even looking at my license ..

I was traveling from Oklahoma thru Texas on the way home to New Mexico. I had just crossed into Texas and was 3 MPH over the posted speed limit. A Texas DPS officer, turned out he was a Corporal FTO, stopped me. Before he even asked for my license etc. his first words were, "Sir do you have any weapons in the vehicle?" I answered "Yes officer I do." OK where are they? I have a locked and loaded 1911 on my right hip and multiple long guns and carbines in the back.
THAT got his attention! Oh BTW Officer I have about 2,000 rounds for each of those weapons! Not the brightest remark at the time. He never missed a beat, hand never went to his weapon he only asked "Why do you have all those guns and ammo."
Simple explanation officer I've just completed a week long tactical long range rifle/carbine class in Oklahoma. Of course the handgun is part of the class as well.
Now he asks for my licenses, registration and insurance - he got my NM carry permit at the same time!
Sir Texas has a no tolerance ordinance for speeding, slow down and have a good day! Thank You Officer be safe and WY6.
Having been a Reserve Police Captain I learned one thing real fast...give respect get respect!!

Getting pulled over for 3 mph over the limit is ridiculous and does nothing more than create animosity towards police. I’m retired and love cops but any cop who pulls someone over for less than 5 mph over the limit should have much better things to do. And there’s no doubt that it’s a shakedown or out of state drivers. Pay fine no questions asked and no points on license.

In New Zealand we have a 5 kms/3mph threshold for heavy vehicles, around schools during school times (including for Saturday sports) and during public holiday periods.

It is not universally liked and we get a lock of grief about it.

In Texas, your CHL and D/L shows up on the Officers computer screen in his patrol car. He knows and sends his dispatcher this info also.

And how much money is generated from this practice? And how many off duty cops pulled over get tickets for it?

I travel out of state to visit relatives, and hope that reciprocity from their home states regarding the permits I have will protect me. When Ohio finally decided to honor Pa. Licenses to Carry Firearms, I wanted to find out how my License would be recognized.

I was at a gun show in Ohio and there was a booth for an Ohio firearms association. I asked them how a PA License to Carry would be treated. The people there really didn't know and suggested talking with the State Trooper who was there. So I asked him what would happen if I was pulled over in Ohio and found to be carrying a concealed firearm while holding a license from another state. He said that the license would be checked to see if it was issued by a reciprocating state. So then I asked, "Is that a 5 minute or a 5 hour process?" He then proceeded to give me a boatload of attitude that I shouldn't carry a loaded gun in a vehicle and should carry the gun and ammunition separate. I thought I asked a legitimate question to see if I got stopped in Ohio whether I would soon be on my way or spending a night in jail.

So my question to all is have you ever been pulled over while carrying concealed using a permit issued by a state different from the one you were pulled over in? How were you treated? What was the end result from the stop? Thank you for your time.

I live in central Pennsylvania, near Harrisburg. I have a PDF copy from the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General called Concealed Carry License Reciprocity, dated April 16th, 2018.

P.M. me with your email address and I will be happy to send you a copy as an email attachment. As a side note, Pennsylvania recently dropped Virginia as a state having reciprocity with Pennsylvania, so it's good to have the current list of states where concealed carry is OK, just in case.

Good luck,
Mike

"States where Pennsylvania Residents with only a Pennsylvania Concealed Carry License can carry a concealed Firearm"

***This is DIFFERENT that other states that require a PA. resident to APPLY for the other state's carry permit***

Other states recognize Pennsylvania concealed carry licenses through reciprocity agreements, statutory reciprocity, or unilateral recognition. Pennsylvania residents with only a valid Pennsylvania concealed carry license may carry a concealed firearm in the following states without applying for a separate concealed carry license in that state:

1. Alabama +/∞ 2. Alaska */∞ 3. Arizona */∞ 4. Arkansas +/∞ 5. Colorado + 6. Florida * 7. Georgia * 8. Idaho */∞ 9. Indiana +/∞ 10. Iowa +/∞ 11. Kansas + 12. Kentucky */∞ 13. Louisiana + 14. Maine ∞ 15. Michigan +/∞ 16. Mississippi */+/∞ 17. Missouri */+/∞
18. Montana + 19. New Hampshire */∞ 20. North Carolina * 21. North Dakota */∞ 22. Ohio +/∞ 23. Oklahoma +/∞ 24. South Dakota */∞ 25. Tennessee * 26. Texas * 27. Utah */∞ 28. Vermont ∞ 29. Virginia ∞ 30. West Virginia */∞ 31. Wisconsin +/∞ 32. Wyoming *

Pennsylvania residents with a valid Pennsylvania concealed carry license may carry a concealed firearm in any of the states listed above regardless of the type of reciprocity. The above chart is for informational purposes only. Pennsylvania residents should contact any state they are going to visit to verify whether there are any additional restrictions in that state’s laws.

The type of recognition for each state above is noted as follows: * = Written Reciprocity Agreement + = Mutual Statutory Reciprocity ∞ = Unilateral Recognition by another state.

And how much money is generated from this practice? And how many off duty cops pulled over get tickets for it?

$30 fee for 0-10 km/h over the limit.

Back in May 1984 when I started I was told it cost $30 to process a $25 fee. Must cost well over $100 these days.

Don’t know how many off duty cops get nabbed. I try not to be one of them.

Another thing you might want to find out before you travel though different states is if you have an obligation to disclose you are armed. Here in NC you must disclose to the officer upon contact that you are armed. Some states I understand you have no duty to disclose.

Maine has Constitutional and permitted carry. Your choice.
If pulled over by law enforcement CC must disclose, permitted aren’t required to.

from my research when a plate or drivers license is run it will show the OWNERS information including
whether He/She have a CC License or not .. seems that info is on all police records .. the LEO making
the stop might not see it on his computer but the dispatcher will ..

I would think most officers would appreciate the heads up !! And as others have said if not reporting and
a gun is seen things could go bad very quickly ..
