Guns

[Harley123]

What do you tell a cop if pulled over for anything if you have a gun in the vehicle? Do you tell him or just dont say anything? What is the correct way to handle this?

[Msucowpoke51]

I would tell for sure

[southern151]

Let em know. It could save you some grief or more!

[Red Devil]

Tell him!!! He'll probably thank you for it.

I've been stopped and told them and both times they just said thanks and never even proceeded to check.

Definitely tell them and if you have a CCL hand it to them with your drivers license.

Possession of a gun in your vehicle is perfectly legal in Louisiana as the vehicle is considered an extension of your home (As it is worded in LRS 14:95.2: “Any constitutionally protected activity which cannot be regulated by the state, such as a firearm contained entirely within a motor vehicle.”)
Therefore, if stopped by a law-enforcement officer for a traffic violation, it is a good practice to tell him if you have a gun in the glove box on top of the papers he is requesting. If it is not in such an awkward place, where the cop might understandably get excited if he witnesses you fumbling around for records while putting your hands on a gun, you do not need to tell him of the gun — there is no violation of the law in having the gun in your car.
If you have a concealed-carry permit, however, you are required by law to inform an officer conducting an official investigation that you have a permit, and whether you are in possession of a handgun. If the officer requests, you are required by law to surrender the gun to him while he is conducting the investigation.

If an officer ilegally takes your weapon Call 911 and report an armed robbery and firearm stolen. The officer was armed and stole a firearm . If everyone did this this Bullshat would stop.
