Not trying to cause an argument, but it makes me crazy that we somehow have to meet a standard not set by the Law.

If that makes you crazy, don't move to N.Y. They think they are immune to the constitution up there.

Born and raised in NY. Turned down for a carry permit many years ago when I carried a $30,000 cash payroll.

Left 20 years ago and have no desire to return.

Yes cops need to be educated,only when your arms are cuffed behind you it is time to be quiet. The law is what ever the LEO preceves at the time. Bad cop no donut

It is always best to be quiet until you are asked a specific question. Never give up information.

If a LEO is going to arrest you, you are right, it does not matter what the law is. However, if you know the law and your rights, it is likely that your bank account will increase some from the settlement they choose to pay rather than deal with a false arrest.

Welcome to the site lowridermig. As said before you are perfectly legal keeping your XD9 loaded and in the glove box. Cops don't always keep up with all the laws or have been miss informed at some time.

Florida's turn around time is actually pretty good. So you should have your permit soon. Mine took about 20 days door to door.
