True. But statistics show that those who have concealed carry permits tend to be the most law-abiding in the nation.
The scenario depicted is the biggest concern I have had about carrying concealed. Some cops are just not cut out to be confronting law-abiding citizens who are armed.
Citizens are expected to encounter armed officers without panicking. Officers need to be trained to do the same.
My intention if stopped is to place both hands on the steering wheel and keep them there until the officer is informed of my status and responds in a reasonable way.
If the officer starts acting like an idiot, my hands stay on the wheel. If the officer intends to murder me, he will have to do it while my hands are in plain sight.
Best to pull the documents out before he gets to the window from now on I think.
