well heres the problem. All cops in all states have the ability to run plate numbers. Mine would show that I have a carry permit from Michigan. Would that give them the right to stop me a do a search. Is that probable cause?
Are you sure???
Florida laws keep my carry permit status unobtainable except for a specific instance when it is required by law. In other words, any police running a standard license check will not find out about my carry permit. Michigan may be different but you should check with what their laws are about the confidentiality of carry permit holders.
Are you sure?? The Canadian Border Patrol knew I had a Florida CCP when they ran my plates entering the Yukon from Alaska inside passage. When we were waiting in line, one officer came down the line getting plate numbers and the first question asked when we got to the head of the line was "do you have a concealed carry permit?"
Why did he ask if he knew you had one? Could it be he just saw the Florida plates and figured you may have one?
He asked to see how truthful I would be which is a standard border patrol practice. Once I answered yes, he asked if I had any guns with me and I told him we knew we couldn't bring them in and had left them at home. He then sent us on our way. If I had lied and answered no to the CCP question, our coach would have been torn apart looking for guns.
