WHAT NO OUTRAGE from the public

If I was pulling somebody over I would be ecstatic to know the person had gone through an extensive enough of a background check to get a CCW. It would improve your chance that he's not a hot head or ex-con or general dirt bag. I imagine after a while as a cop you start to realize CCW carries are generally well behaved people. I hope more cops would act as this guy did and be a little appreciative of CCW's.

Can you imagine what the conversation would be like if a passenger filming this in the car pulled over was from Bloomberg's Every Clown and saw this realizing cops actually could trust somebody with a gun and only gave them a warning.

Most cops do act this way, it's just not in the news. You always hear about the bad ones.

I bought my Winchester from an FBI agent in Glenwood Springs. When I told him I had a permit and was wearing a 1911 he smiled, shook my hand and thanked me for being "one of the good guys". That whole experience was odd, I had no idea he was an agent until we got off the elevator to go to his office and saw the "FBI Field Office" sign on the door. Helluva nice guy though.

Also got stopped one night in Centennial for a sobriety check (they used some other BS reason to stop me) and one of the officers saw my exposed 1911 on my hip. They didn't give me any shit, just watched me carefully and asked me to keep my hands on the wheel while we chatted and my license/permit was ran. The whole thing was a non-issue, pretty much making sure I wasn't a drunk out at 2-3am or whatever it was. Just coming home from work was all.

When a cop pulls you over for BS and then wants to talk about you being drunk at 2am, how is it that they are cool. Sounds like some d bags to me.

I've only had one bad stop while caring and that was by a colorado state trooper. He disarmed me and then dropped a $1000 1911 onto the gravel shoulder.

Every other time they ask if I have a permit and that's it. Shouldn't even ask for the permit in colorado seeing as you don't need it.

Rondog, sounds like the same guy I bought a Colt from. He was FBI from the Glenwood office and he had business in Breckenridge so he met me in Frisco. We sat in his car and talked for quite a while, real nice guy. I don't recall if my CCW ever came up it was in 2010 and I have slept since then.

Could be. I know it was an odd feeling buying a rifle in a FTF transaction with no BGC, from a Federal LEO, in a Federal LE Agency office.....great little Winchester .44 Trapper though! Got my first deer with it.

These are the cops we need and deserve. It would be nice to hear these stories more often.
