Hi.. and Happy New year.
I am a civilian with a CC permit. I am a law abiding citizen and a Veteran. I am new to the practice of concealed carry and I am in the proccess of learning everything relevant to a civilian carrying a weapon for self defence. I plan on taking an appropraite course from the Sig Arms Acadamy and also consulting with a local lawyer regarding specifics of CC and the use of deadly force. I was wondering if the LE officers in this forum would be comfortable giving me any advice or general information relating to a civilian carring a weapon for self defence? I suppose I am looking for advice regarding topics or issues that, You in LE , have seen or experienced with civilians carring concealed weapons? For example, I was told that "most" LE officers do not want to be advised by an individual that they are an LTC holder and are armed, during routine traffic stops or other interactions where the knowlage of weapon presant is not "relevant". I guess I was hoping that you all as LE Officers, could offer any advice that would assist me in being a compitent and safe citizen in this regard. I hope this is not an inappropriate question/request for this forum. Thanks in advance and I wish you all a Happy & SAFE New Year! AA
