Hats off to New Smyrna Beach, FL LEO

[amddude]

I live in Daytona, most of the cops here in FL (aside from some of the metro areas) are pretty laid back about stuff like that. Glad it was painless.

No, he didn't mention it at all.

My guess is that it wasn't printing all that bad. They were just specifically on the lookout for people carrying illegally since he made the comment about "a lot of people carry illegally at bike week".

This officer's only concern was that I had a permit. He didn't even seem to assume I didn't have one at first. In fact he seemed to assume I was LEO, most likely because my first words to him were "I'm carrying".

I don't want to imply he was uncautious in any way putting him self at possible risk when he approached me. After all, he did approach from behind on my left side (the side I carry) as to be sure I was at a tactical disadvantage. But he remained polite, professional, and was conscious about not wasting my time.

He simply asked to see the permit, then went on his way.

Excellent...Always like to hear the good stories. This happens a good 95 percent of the time. That almost requires a complement letter to the department. Its good to comment when good things happen as much as when bad things happen. Chalk another one up to our friends the good guys!!!

I'm from FL...most cops here seem to be pretty cool about it overall. Generally speaking, people in the law enforcement community don't tend to vote Democrat.
