Never had a cop ask me if I had a gun in the car. I’m bothered by that. I frequently travel with a concealed NON REGISTERED gun. Not their business unless they have probable cause to search my vehicle. They shouldn’t be allowed to ask without probable cause. Why would someone intending harm tell the truth?
I was going to comment on that. I was an LEO for many years and without any real suspicion never asked one person I stopped if they had a gun. I just always assumed everyone did and did my business. Of course small city cops are sometimes a bit different.
