Was involved where LE was called to the area. I was questioned about what happened, after answering a few questions, I handed him my CCW license and said no one here is aware of this, and by law I need to show it to you.
He was very polite, said thank you for showing to me and handed it back. No one was the wiser.

Don't use 10-codes unless you are sure you know what you are saying to them.
I would just hand them the license with your ID and say something like, "I need to also give you this and I'd like to keep it confidential if you could" or something to that effect. More than likely they will be interested in doing the investigation and not worry about your CCW. If the owners understand what you were talking about and they ask you what that was about, just tell them you don't know what they are talking about. They will give up asking you or just tell them it was a business card of another deputy you know and you were hoping they would help you out more. ![]()

My point is not who is right or wrong. I have no doubt that you're both right, relating to the agency for whom you work/worked. Unless you know, as you would if it were your own agency, do not take for granted that the agency with whom you are dealing right then knows the same code that you do. Doing so can easily end up being embarrassing, at best, or very dangerous at worst. "10-22 the torpedos! Code 3 at twelve o'clock!" David Farragut, more or less...

Well, I just told him quietly that I had a CCW and he did not even blink. He did not ask for my license or anything. He did not care. He chatted with me about my business for 15 min. and left. No problems. I will be meeting a couple more sheriff deputies today. I will not use a 10 code. It would make me look like idiot. Thanks guys.

Until we finally heard back from the OP today I thought there was a chance he took your advice!

Another suggestion for these types of situations: In one of his recent columns, Massad Ayoob said that he would avoid using the word "gun" around an on duty officer, and if he needed to notify an LEO that he was armed, he would say "Officer, I am licensed to carry and I am currently carrying. What would you like me to do?" While saying this, keep your hands in full view of the Officer.
If I ever find myself in that kind of situation, I am going to follow those suggestions. |
