How to interact with a police officer(s)

After the introductions my next response is to let the officer know I have a firearm. He may or may not respond with where it’s located. He may or may not ask you to surrender the weapon to be placed on the roof of the car. I always hand the weapon butt first letting the officer know it’s not hot (chamber is empty). He may or may not ask to see my concealed permit. From there it gets on with business. On my part the conversation is cordial and respectful. Been my experience the officer will let you off with a warning.
