    Shreveport Citizens Disarmed By Police For 2nd Amendment Bumper Stickers

    I know this is not in TN and we need to keep it that way.

    Welcome to Shreveport: Your rights are now suspended.According to Cedric Glover, mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana, his cops “have a power that [. . .] the President of these Unites States does not have”: His cops can take away your rights.

    And would you like to guess which rights he has in mind?

    Assuming the citizen is telling the truth, all we have here is an ignorant officer and an ignorant mayor. I'm not sure there's any big conspiracy to it, though we all seem to look for them quick enough.

    I'm not sure of any case law in Tennessee, but I doubt you're going to find a judge who'd sanction a police officer for securing a weapon during a traffic stop. That's just one more reason I don't like our HCP system.

    Pretextual stops are lawful in Tennessee and Louisiana. Unfortunately.

    That's not what we need, every mayor or public official in Birddrop, (insert state here) thinking they can supersede the Constitution. Where are people getting this idea? Oh, wait....never mind.

    Yes, but you have no legal obligation in Tennessee to answer questions in the first place.

    personally I think it would be best to limit conversation with the police strictly to the reason for the stop...

    this is exactly why a person should not answer questions not relevant to the original reason for the stop, and even then the information given should be extremely limited in my opinion--stops all too often seem to turn into fishing expeditions just like this Louisiana stop did...

    and if possible the conversation should be recorded--for your protection.

    In LA, you have to notify the officer you are armed. Not so here.

    There was a full hour devoted to this on gun talk a few weeks ago. the gentleman that was stopped was on the radio telling his side of the story. There was also a follow up the next week.


    My understanding was the duty to inform is only relevant if you have a carry permit and are carrying concealed. You do not need a permit in that state to carry in your car.


    You can listen to the back episodes on the guntalk website. Anyone interested may want to do that.
