I am a person who reflects and reviews choices to decide whether I made the best choices. I thought I would get your opinion as well!
Last night I was driving home with the family and my 2 yo daughter, who has a cold, starts coughing and vomits ALL OVER herself. I find the nearest exit, pull way over, throw on the hazards and my wife and I start cleaning up her and the car. I am cleaning her up, switching clothes, changing diapers, etc when someone pulls up behind me. Peek-a-boo, its the Sheriff (and partner.) He asked how I was doing, if they could help (he didn't want to clean up any puke ) The van doors were open and my boys were yelling about "the Police are here!" and so the partner pokes his head it to say hi to the kids (maybe he was checking out the situation, idk.) We packed up and took off, Sheriff took off as well.
I was, of course, carrying concealed. 3:30 IWB, button down shirt and a light jacket. XDM 9mm Compact with Hornady Critical Def for those that will ask, haha. I was sure I was concealed, even though it was obnoxiously windy. Do you ALWAYS declare to the police that you are a CCW holder? Or only if you are pulled over? Or only if they ask you to step out? I have previously handed them my CCW license along with my drivers license but this situation didn't require that. So what do you all think? I just keep thinking that all it would take is a gust of wind in the wrong direction and I brandish and situation gets weird.
