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 |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
