you survived?? Amazing!!! very few get out alive or with out permanent brain damage…
He went to Georgia not New Hampshire.
Yes I know. He lived in Lowell Massachusetts which kills brain cells.
Red Sox, Bruins, Revolutionary War history, other than that.. Let it burn.
I make a habit of thanking cops I see. It’s often at Sheetz or someplace similar. I simply say, “Thanks for being a cop. I know it isn’t easy these day”. I don’t include, “By the way, I’m carrying a gun”.
) had something to do with it each time.
Any interaction. I was talking to a guy in a cigar lounge one time when he mentioned he was a detective with DPD. Said "oh in that case let me advise you of my handgun permit." He had no issues with it.
Only if the interaction between you and the officer is within his official capacity. For example you can walk up to an on duty police officer and have a conversation without disclosing, but if the officer approches you in particular on official LEO business you are required to disclose.
I don't believe that is correct.
I did once. The officer was pissed because he was in a hurry but was behind me when I did something technically illegal so he felt he had to pull me over. I handed him my DL and permit together. He yelled, "Whats this? I didn't ask for this!"
His name wasn’t Barney was it
I wasn't trying to make a distinction between on or off duty, but if an LEO in uniform approaches or addresses you it is likely in an official capacity and you should disclose. Not necessary when you're causually talking to an officer (on or off duty) in the check out line at walmart.
They would be self incriminating if they are not legally armed. 😀
I grew up in NH. Settled in MA after my USAF 4 year hitch. Got my engineering degree there. Met my wife there. 2 kids born there. So it wasn't all bad.
Beat me to it. Yes, it is only during an encounter in their official capacity. Approached and addressed in this statute is meant to be interpreted as on duty and an official contact. You can stand beside a officer on the street and talk about the weather or exchange pleasantries with no legal requirement to disclose.
I purposely keep my handgun openly holstered next to me in the car. I got pulled last week, the officer clearly saw it, and didn't say anything. Duty to inform is a huge infringement and if you're properly concealing why does it matter as you mentioned they can tell anyways.
I would whenever a LEO addressed me.
You were technically open carrying, which is not subject to duty to inform.
Being a passenger opens up a whole host of other legal issues I am not fully versed on. I think that YT lawyer, Steve Lehto may have some videos on this, but my understanding is that unless they have some official reason (I won't call it probable cause or reasonable suspicion because I don't know what applies) to address the passenger that it's not proper to do so. In other words, if the only offense is a traffic violation committed by the driver, of which the passenger has no culpability(*), it would not be within scope or bounds to start questioning the passenger.
If they ask or speak to you. Yes.
What makes my head go confused sideways dog-look is how one person seems to be hung up on the acronym others use with respect to a NC concealed handgun permit to the point of making multiple snarky posts about it. Core to this is that people know what is meant by the following: CHP, CCH, CCW, CCP, and the like ... and just because that person is hung up on acronym use doesn't mean the rest of the world cares enough to be equally stuck on something so trivial/petty.
My counter to this is that if everyone who has a NC concealed handgun permit knows that it's handgun only (which they should, because the class is obliged to cover it), then the acronym that's used to represent the permit, itself, is completely immaterial/irrelevant ... since everyone with the permit is supposed to know it's handgun-specific, anyway. Moreover, someone who does NOT have the permit won't know what the acronym means without looking it up (which they'll do with a any of the other acronyms, too)... and this, again, makes the acronym immaterial/irrelevant.
