Bucher said he is most concerned that the proposed legislation would allow concealed weapons in vehicles, putting police officers at risk whenever they make a traffic stop.

If they feel that the job is too dangerous, then they should get into another line of work. I'm pretty sure that cops are told at the academy to assume that the driver of every car they pull over is armed. Taxpayers do not exist to make things "safe" for the police!

I'm sure if a law is passed barring concealment that the criminals will stop carring them under their shirts. Thats how it works right?

About 5 years ago the police started putting their car at an angle on traffic stops. While stopped (speeding,) I asked the LEO why the hell the front end of his car was almost on the road and the back end was almost in the ditch, and the specifically said that it's to give them cover in case the detained driver came out of the car firing his/her weapon.

It's almost as though these bozos think WE DON'T KNOW THIS ALREADY.
