Danger during traffic stop

[Bkeepr]

Concealed handgun permit carrier did everything right— except run a stop sign— and is accidentally shot by an officer who clearly needed more firearms training. .45 can do a lot of damage…

She not only needs extra training and being fired she needs to be charged with attempted manslaughter.

Or at least an assault with a deadly weapon.

It has been decades since I have been stopped for speeding. But back then, they didn't ask about a gun, and I didn't offer it up. That was 30 years ago.

Nowadays, at least in Maryland and Pennsylvania that I know of, an officer pulling somebody over for any reason has immediate access to the car owner's picture and information including whether or not he/she has a concealed carry license. I don't know if that includes out of State carry licenses, or just folks who have a license within that State.

Maybe interesting: this subject came up in my last Maryland carry class, and as part of the class they have a local officer come and talk about their views; we also had a Pennsylvania State trooper who was a student in the course (he has a Maryland concealed carry permit for off-duty, because Maryland apparently doesn't recognize his PA license). Both officers from both locations indicated that they'd appreciate someone letting them know if they had a firearm with them and would give some credibility credit for someone who did it...even though they already knew if they had a license.
