I had stopped by our gun club this evening and was chatting with one of our members.  This member is a Vietnam vet and a retired police officer.  He donates his time on Thursday evenings teaching rifle marksmanship and safety to Juniors ( 10 - 17 year olds ) as part of our club junior program.





He told me about his recent encounter with a State Trooper.  He was going into the Stewarts Shop in Modena, NY, and as he was going in, the trooper was on his way out.  Our member said, "Good Morning", to the trooper, the trooper responded with "good morning", then looked up at the hat our member was wearing, and with a snide tone, said "nice hat".  Our member was wearing a black ball cap style hat with gold NRA lettering.





Our member conducted his business in Stewarts, walked out, and found the trooper waiting for him.


"Sir, do you have a weapon?"  Our member thought the question odd, and said as much.  They had a discussion on "reasonable suspection" and "probable cause".  Once the trooper saw the retired LEO credentials, it was "have a nice day".  I'm sure us regular schmoes would have faired less well.  Magazine round counts?





I find the encounter disturbing.  Think about a NRA sticker on your car, or a BFL logo.  There is at least one trooper in Ulster County who thinks a pro gun symbol deserves further attention.

A NY court just ruled it is illegal for a police officer to ask during a traffic stop if you are carrying a weapon.

Nope. Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. Know when OPSEC is more important than politics.

Edited.

What I had intended to say was:

If I choose not to wear something it is not giving up my right, simply being tactful in my use of it. Similar to when you meet someone with a baby - the first amendment allows you to say they have an ugly baby, however I would advise against it.

I don't think the OP is bashing. I think he is asking a question and trying to stimulate conversation. I think there is a line drawn for cop bashing and he has not crossed it. I'm sure mods are watching......always watching.

Not quite, more that it said you must have specific suspicion that the person(s) you've stopped may have a weapon, as opposed to asking as a rule if there are any weapons or using the reasoning that there are a lot of weapons being carried in the area.

shit.  I wear my BFL logo hat daily and usually some sort of firearm related t-shirt 2-3 times a week sometimes. I  have my BFL logo magnet and door magnets advertising my FFL on my truck daily, in  addition to various window stickers from SCOPE, NRA, NYSRP, Gadsden etc.  Never been hassled.

This guy must have run into a real ass.  I won't change anything about my attire in fear of being profiled.  Want to profile me, profile me.  I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of.

I understand the sentiment, but this is not a friend of a friends cousin type story.  This was told to me by the guy it happened to at about 6 PM last evening.  If our club member were to create an account here and type it himself, he would be a '13er with a post count of one, which is to say, zero credibility.  And our member is a retired LEO, so I believe him as I can't think of any motivation on his part to make it up.



I think the cop bashing accusation was directed to a post about 4 or 5 after my original post.  Nothing in my OP can be construed as  cop bashing, not even toward the trooper involved.  It was merely a restatement of events.

Knowing the OP and the club well, I can confidently state you are wrong in your ASSumption.

Vly, thanks for posting this, but I ain't taking off my Larue hat.

People need to just take a moment to realize that not everyone is against us and not everyone is for us.    Cop bashing is stupid, they are not our enemy, but I wouldn't consider them friends to our side either.  

My point I guess is that be it law enforcement, military, your church, people at your bingo club or your neighbors, hell even your gun club is going to have people that are against us, just as they might be for us.

I don't know guys my heads all fucked up right now, I'm just saying be smart and don't go thinking one group that comprises tons of people is unanimously for or against us.

I don't have the story I usually cite (I may get it later) but here is another:

http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Police-Ask-Drivers-Guns-NY-Traffic-Stops-Court-Ruling-Founded-Suspicious-184000001.html

"The court majority said police cannot, simply as a protective measure, routinely ask the occupants of a vehicle about weapons, though under established case law officers can tell motorists to get out in order to get a better look at them... The state's highest court ruled Tuesday that police can't simply ask stopped motorists if they have a gun or other weapon but need a "founded suspicion" in order to ask."

In other words, "the safety of the officer" is not a valid reason.

That said, it clearly doesn't stop police officers / JBTs from harassing people.

No doubt.  

Just saying that me personally I don't respond to a few posters here specifically because they are PD and would cry bashing if confronted on the shit they spew.  I like being on ARFcom and I respect a number of the LEOs that are part of our HTF.  But others can come off as entitled and condescending.

As a LE member of this site, the best advice I can give to all our fellow NY citizens is:


Don't trust ANY LE Officer unless you know him/her very, very well........like family


Most of us will not enforce this law or even mess with you over it.......and we are as disgruntled as anyone else.


But, you may just run into "Officer friendly" during casual conversation and next thing you know you are in handcuffs because he/she was actually supportive of this law.  You have to keep in mind that LE is a direct reflection of the people in our state........the same people that voted the idiots into office that created and passed this BS law....


........Please, please, keep that in mind and protect yourself accordingly.......I cant stress that enough.

An officer cannot legally pull you over for a routine traffic stop and ask if you have any weapons as a precaution for his own safety.  He needs reasonable suspicion of a crime.

My question for lawyers and LEOs: if an average citizen is pulled over for a routine traffic stop and is asked by the LEO if he has any weapons, how should this person respond?
