If I was in North Carolina I would certainly comply with whatever the law required. Wouldn't stop me from feeling foolish and embarrassed in so doing though.

I realize that some states require you to inform LE that you are a legally armed citizen. I must agree that just handing your CCP along with your DL would be plenty to inform LE with out having to verbalize it. Always answer questions if asked but never volunteer info.

With that said, WHY IN THE WORLD WAS THERE A ROAD BLOCK TO BEGAIN WITH?
where are your papers infidel?

I can't get too upset about anything noted in this exchange. I doubt that they taught the cadet to yell gun in a case like this rather is one where a gun is being pulled. That is why she is a cadet, to learn. I thought i12fly handled it very well except I never heard of having to announce that you had a permit. I just assumed that if I handed him my license and permit at the same time it would be sufficient.

Call me naive or whatever but I don't get too upset at roadblocks either as long as they stop everyone going through rather just those they feel like stopping and hassling. I know that every time I have seen one there are a bunch of people pulled over usually for no license, no insurance or drunk. If ever you are hit head on while stopped as far off the road to the right as you can get only to find that they had no license, no insurance, no property no nothing but a wrecked car and have to spend six months in a wheel chair with no income your attitude about some things change.

I should add that the probable reason for having the road blocks is that the neighborhood association requested more police patrols and more police presence after a few break-ins.

I have no idea why he didn't draw his weapon, but he was an older officer with Sgt stripes so I would assume he was fairly experienced and was picked as a training officer because of this. I do know that there were a couple of officers shot last year and shortly after that the police did get a little overbearing, but it was short lived. They caught the person responsible and it seems to have died down since. I would think that maybe the reason could be that I kept my hands on the steering wheel where he could easily see them.

I agree that the requirement is stupid, and that handing over the permit should suffice. However, we were taught that way in the class I was in, and several issues were presented where the officer did not feel that he was notified soon enough and make a fuss about it.
