Interesting in Huntington WV at 2:30 am this morn. While parked at the Greyhound bus station myself, girlfriend, and brother were confronted by the police. Not sure how they can walk up to a vehicle parked, with no suspicious activity,at a bus station and ask everyone for ID but its all good. The first officer walks to my door, opens it, since we have power windows and could not put the window down without turning the key. He askes what we are doing there at that hour and I tell him we are dropping my brother off to catch the greyhound bus at 2:30am. He askes if I have ID and I said "Yes, and I also have two loaded handguns and a permit for them in my wallet also." Tho Ive done nothing erratic nor evading, I thought, he takes me out of the car, handcuffs me and says he will check my permit in a bit. Everyones ID is checked, the whole car checked, my permit checked, both gun serial numbers checked. Not a single problem with anything thus far, Im still handcuffed without a jacket in single digit weather. All officers, 7 at this time, were rather polite, except one, who tells me that there is something wrong in my head to be carrying two guns. One is ok he said,,but two tells him that something is wrong with me, in his words. Then he says that if I think im some kind of badass,,,then he will have my permit to carry revoked, to which I only said"OH". Finally, aprox 20 min later, the initial officer takes the cuffs off. Thing that struck me funny,,,,even more than being handcuffed for 20 minutes with a permit that I told them I had, was that they put my two handguns in the truck of the car, put the two magazines to them by a lamp post 30yds away, and told me that I could retrieve my mags when they leave and not to load the guns till we had left town.
.. I guess I had thought that when a person is stopped,, and you tell them that you have a permit,,, you dont get handcuffed, and im not even gonna try to figure out the little bit about the guns in the trunk and mags on the light post.
I gave polite answers thru the whole deal, nothing offensive nor bad language. I have a friend or two that are police and going to find out if that is how they generally handle it around here is that even tho you have a permit and telll them that before you are asked to get out of the car,,,if you still end up handcuffed,,,for their safety.
