Default First law enforcement contact today
So two deputies are on a traffic stop. I'm in a neighboring parking lot, waiting for the car in front of me to move so I can find a spot.

One breaks off from backing up the other deputy and walks over to my car's passenger side open window and says...

"you can't"... xxxx ..."while driving" (some small infraction)

...then turned away. I corrected the violation and aplogized. The deputy turned back and took about 30 seconds to further explain why it's important not to xxxx while driving. It all went by so quick. She walked away, and then I realized, I hadn't told her about my CCW. I think I made the right choice. In my opinion that wasn't really an "official" contact. In fact, she hardly even let me talk.

So, would you have notified the deputy that you had a CCW in a similar situation? (For those unfamiliar or outside Orange County, we are mandated to notify law enforcement upon an official contact that we have a CCW)

You probably would have been out of line to yell, "come back here, i want to show you something", I might have done the same thing...on the other hand, what the heck is "xxxx" I mean, 4 X's must be pretty special, so do tell...

haha... I started out with "triple x" but changed it to xxxx. It's nothing racy... just unusual.

I bet you just turned this thread into a guessing game.

The deputy is right . You can not pick your nose while driving.

Bottom line it comes down to common sense. That was an official interaction with LE. But as you said is it reasonable that you even had a chance to notify?

I think you did the best you could.

Friends lets try to keep this on topic.

Only thing I would worry about is you said it never dawned on you. Situation awarness my friend. It would have been in the forefront of my mind the whole time.
