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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
