Good encounter with NOPD, albeit kinda funny...and sad

[Manimal]

On a side note, I had another good encounter tonight (seems to be a lot of "encounters" for me lately). Was pulled over for burnt out license plate bulb. I didn't inform the officer in any way about my pistol as it was in my console, and I was not asked. He went to his car to run my license, came back to my window and asked "You carry a gun?". "Yes sir." I thought I was in for another fun encounter.

But all he did was smile and say "Cool. We appreciate that. Have a good night."

That is freaking awesome!

See...that is a good cop, I knew they were still around!

Yup, he was really cool. For the record this was a St. Tammany Sheriff Deputy and not NOPD. I like to mix it up a bit, keep my police encounters fresh and exciting.

What I meant was I tried to keep them in the box, but my coworkers couldn't resist. So they were open. The officer was totally justified in my book. He also kept his pistol down and did not aim at anyone.

I stand corrected.

Many years ago , in my LEO days , we went to a house where a family fight was going on and a gun was involved . A couple of Detectives beat us there ,they had heard the dispatcher mention the gun . We were all standing in the living room and a female Detective asked one of the family members to tell her where the gun was located . " It's under the chair cushion " .
The Detective reached under the cushion and pulled out a single action RUGER pistol . Yeah , you know what came next . After watching her fumble with that pistol trying to open the cyclinder for a couple of minutes , I told her to let me do it . She was shocked when I started dropping rounds out of the loading gate .

I can understand why the cop stopped you. my father is a cop, and actually had to draw on two teenagers that were playing with a replica BB gun. No orange muzzle. They complied and everything went fine, but to think of what could have happened... horrible.

this thread should be locked due to lack of cop bashing. i feel like we are not getting the whole story, i mean come on! he must have done -something- wrong.

OK then
Wrong was disarming the guy when he could have much easier looked at the permit and found no need to disarm. What I'm seein here that would have been much safer.

If you don't know how the hell it works don't eff with it. Specially if 1000 ft per second rocks come out of the end if U screw up

The guy has permit and is not comitting a crime why the hell you want to disarm ??

Five O needs to calm down on the disarm bit, thats so much chest beatin to me.

There hows that for cop bashin ?? 2 honest ??

I'm scared to click on the link to see what it is. On another forum some sorry SOB had a meat spin on the other side of one of his links. Do yourself a favor and don't google meat spin.

So what is on the other side of the link?

no bashing from me

H&R revolvers in 32 will shoot 32acp as they have a slight rim. I use them all the time in my S&W.I first saw this use in an Iver Johnson.

It's funny I used to get harassed by the cops all the time when I was younger. Smoking dope in a parked car at the playground after dark. Smoking dope in a parked car on the levee after dark. Smoking dope out at the airport on the runway after dark. Smoking dope in the French Quarter ... oh yeah - no one bothered me for that one. It always ticked me off, because the cop never had a reason to stop me in the first place - except I was 18 and probably up to no good.

These days I have a house in old Metry, and I was talking to a Jefferson Parish cop, and the JP told me to call in anyone who I didn't recognize walking in my neighborhood, and I thought, "I really love how thorough these guys are.", then I thought about my salad days, and the way the cops treated me. Somehow it makes more sense now.
