Out of State LEO Encounters?

[jiggypete]

Preparing for a trip to Florida next week, and just got to thinking about traveling with a firearm (which I plan to do). Every state that we will be traveling through/visiting is reciprocal with Indiana's LTCH, but have you guys had any encounters while traveling? I'm thinking just simple traffic stops, but maybe you've had other encounters out of state with LEO's and Indiana's LTCH. Anything to think consider? Thanks for your thoughts/input.

I've had 2 traffic stops from county cops in MS. Not problems with my Indiana LTCH.

Did you disclose you were licensed and carrying? Or, did they ask?

Simple traffic stops? No such thing.

Obey the law and you will limit (not eliminate) your exposure and down south with Yankee plates you don't want to give them excuses to jack with you.

No static from out of state cops. Not even Massachusetts.

Last "encounter" I had was Kerrville, Texas. I was at Inn of the Hills there during the Chief Deputy Sheriff's Assocation Annual Meeting.

I was at a gun shop wearing a Baja shirt to cover my guns. I was "printing" pretty ugly. The cops all looked at me, shrugged and asked me about deer hunting in Indiana.

You need to go to Handgunlaw.us and click on each state that you are travelling through. Find out if they have a duty to inform, etc.

Yep, checked the hangunlaws website many times. It looks like we are set to go. The only discrepancy is KY right to inform. I didn't see it stated anywhere that it was required, but I know some on INGO have claimed that it is. Anyone had personal experience with it?

Kentucky is NOT a duty-to-inform state.

They asked. They were more concerned with my window tint than my firearms.
