I have seen some ingenious handgun mounting options on a couple of the CPL and Handgun forums, It would be nice to be able to remove my handgun from my IWB holster, and place it in a mounted holster with easy access when driving? I use a safe with a cable attached when not wearing it now, but I would really like to just mount an extra holster within reach. I was confused if it was "legal" in WashingtonAs long as you have CPL. I actually know someone that has mounted something similar on the right side of their steering wheel under the dash. He was also himmed up by a rookie right out of the academy during a traffic stop until a senior Officer arrived and straightened things out. Obviously this is a very complicated law and no matter how much they teach and pound these laws into the recruits at the academy there still gonna come out a little confused sometimes. I would say that most cops are squared away on the gun laws and if they aren't or are in some doubt they will or at least should make damn sure before issuing a citation or hooking someone up. Thank you, Now I can get creative with a few of my extra holsters, LOL

Quote from: Special T on June 22, 2011, 02:01:18 PMYour always doing something illegal! Either the cops choose not to enforce it, don't know the law, or there is some "other" enforcement agency that is suposed to come after you...I have had many a conversation with a LEO about BS small infractions... They are used as a "Tool" so that they have probable cause to question you... Not to mention if you fail the "Attitude test" that tool becomes an infraction.Here we go, everyones getting worked up! Special T, first let me explain to you how this stuff works, I don't need Probable Cause(PC) to talk to anyone! You need PC to arrest people not to talk to them. PC means that more likely than not the person committed the crime(51%) I can talk to anyone I want and thats their right if they choose to talk back! Those BS small infractions aren't made by us, our job is enforce them. I also get discretion on whether I educate or enforce on these "BS infractions." If you don't agree with these violations take it up with the appropriate people!

Good post Special T. I hear your frustration. First, as of about a year go we cannot ask for the passengers ID any more for no reason. As a cop this sucks! As for you I guess its a good thing. Used to make a lot of good arrests from this all the time. Pull a car over and there's a turd sittin in the passenger seat. You know he's either good for warrants or got dope on him so I'd get his ID and hope to get him on something. Got a POS that had a Murder warrant this way once. Thats good Police work in my mind and now that tool has been taken away from us. This is only for our very liberal 9th circuit court! I'm not sure what the solution to making everyone happy is or your solution but if we didn't do a little digging at times and not make all these traffic stops we wouldn't be arresting half these *censored* bags and they'd be running around in our communities doing what they do best. As for your BS laws I can't tell you how many times I've tried running a plate but couldn't because of the ball. Do I make those stops sometimes yes, do I write tickets for that no. As far as the mud flaps goes...hahahaha I used to get pulled over weekly when I was a kid and didn't have the proper mud flaps on my jacked up yota so I can relate.
"Don't ask a cop, they have no idea what the laws actually are."Wow 7 Mag!!!! Your right we just do a lot of guess work in this business! Thats sarcasm and I'm hoping that was some sarcasm from you because if that was the case and making all these unlawful arrests I'd probably lose my job real quick! On the upside, 7 Mag is correct in his responses! Quit poppin off, we don't need anymore booger eaters on this site!
I know of a few people who have gotten a ticket for carrying concealed while hunting with no permit. That being said it sounds like it is legal to do so from the verbage you have provided. Personally I have been stopped/talked by many sheriffs from many counties and none have ever asked to see my conceal permit even when it is obvious I am carrying. This doesn't prove anything either way, Just want to put this out there.My get the permit its not expensive and will save you the hassle, its great to ask for opinions on a board like this but make sure to always seek professional advice when something is of importance.
A right not used is a right !
Quote from: Wazukie on June 18, 2011, 08:38:58 AMIf you carry a loaded pistol in your back pack, i believe you would be in violation whether you had a permit or not. Just like if you have a loaded pistol in your car and it is not on your person when you are in the car(can not be tucked between your leg and seat), you would be in violation. Besides it don't do any good in your back pack if you need it. That is untrue. It does not have to be "on your person". It can be under your seat, or on the seat next to you, or in the glove box. You can carry it in your backpack, or purse, or fanny pack. There is a lot of misinformation on concealed carry out there. Believe it or not, Washington is one of the most lax states concerning concealed carry. Don't ask a cop, they have no idea what the laws actually are.
