Mike Bianchi was carrying a pistol in a holster when police stopped him at a sobriety checkpoint in Berkeley.
The officer didn’t ask if he was carrying a gun, but Bianchi told him anyway.
“By the way, I have my concealed weapons permit,” he said, with his hands firmly on the steering wheel where the officers could see them. He told them the gun was on his right side in a holster. “What do you want me to do?”
“That’s fine,” said the officer. “Just don’t reach for yours and we won’t reach for ours.”
Soon he was on his way. |

The exact same thing happened to me in Miami in 1988.
EXACTLY the same.
And, one isn't required to affirmatively notify in Florida. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
