    | Today, NRA-ILA filed an amicus curiae (or friend of the court) brief in a case pending before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals concerning how the police may respond when presented with a concealed carry permit.
 
 This case began when a Connecticut police officer approached a man who pulled over to fix his phone’s GPS. Upon being stopped, the man presented the officer with his driver’s license and state-issued license to carry a firearm. At the same time, he informed the officer that he had a lawfully carried pistol in the driver’s side door of his car.

    | This is how DANGEROUS it is to deal with police.  They see everyone as a target.  Merely being by the side of the road and they target you.  Say nothing to them but "AM I BEING DETAINED?" 
 We lost most of our privacy and liberties when effectively the whole nation bought the big lie that you need these commercial plates merely to travel, and a commercial license merely to travel.  Take these away and cops become a lot less dangerous and threatening.

                      | We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest.  We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again.  Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time.  The first problem is to slow down production and sales.  Next is to get registration.  The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal.  — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |  |  |
