This sucks, but is not surprising.
While a majority of police officers are pillars of society without whom our lives would be much more difficult, the fact of the matter is that a certain percentage will be bullies who don’t bother to read or know the law.
When the concealed-carry law is what it is in Ohio, here is how you begin your first communication with a police officer:
“Officer, in compliance with Ohio statutory requirements, I’m required to tell you that…“
Also, keep both hands on the steering wheel and don’t make any moves. And if you’re going to get something out of the glove-box, inform the officer that you would like to do that, and ask his permission.
The police are jumpy, often have itchy trigger fingers, and won’t get in trouble at all if they happen to blow you away.
That isn’t how things ought to be, but the question is whether you want to make a philosophical point or whether you want to avoid having a nasty experience with the boys in blue.
