UNDERSTAND THIS! Each stop in normal traffic work was a surprise.
That is why at least in any state that honors my FL Resident CCW I choose to let the officer know as soon as possible. There is no reason to hide it if I'm a legal CCW holder.
Based on the real life event dash cam videos my brother in-law showed from his police academy it is tough out there. Simple traffic stop can turn deadly in an instant.
As mentioned above Thank you for your service.
