Just imagine MY traffic stops, I open carry only with no CHL.

I disagree with your statements of "Tired" and "practicing safe muzzle control" only for the simple fact that you should always have the mental control over your weapon. Dead of night or not. This is sort of beside the point, and sounds like an excuse of why you were bothered by the officer's request.

Notice the long gun slung over the teachers shoulder?
Any pistol bought in WA through an FFL is registered with the state, long guns are not (yet) if bought from an FFL. Private sales are not yet registered unless 594 accidentally passes and 591 doesn't.

"Having a gun is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have it you may never need it again"
So, my question for those who have these answers, what all does he have access to and how does that information come about being on his database? I'm not comfortable with that information being easily accessible, which touches on the evil registration concept, so I'm curious as to how all this came about, and how long this has been the case.
IT IS NOT REGISTERED it IS on record if you have used your carry permit when buying the hand gun.
The guy who shot up the coffee shop in N Seattle was the case where this came to light for me. The data base knew what pistols he had purchased with his CPL,the 45 he used ,what they found him with,had come up on the search.
BUT it is NOT registration.You do not get a tittle for the gun or need to transfer 'tittle' to the next person when selling said firearm.
......
Well again the shooter in Seattle went from one end of the city to the other and in that time,say 10-15 miutes? they brought up the record of the guns he had bought using his cpl. I would guess a paper trail would take days to go through.How long has this "recording of sale" been going on? Does it come in the LEO computer under driver's license? I was under the impression that the CPL, being a paper system, wasn't "in the system" electronically. If that's no longer the case, how long has that been going on?
You're absolutely right. But what we can do is stay vigilant and stay involved in the political process. I'm thinking that this is just the tip of the iceberg. From what I understand, there are some states with much stricter laws. I've even heard of a carry permit being tied to a specific gun, and that you need a separate permit or authorization for each gun you intend to carry. I cringe at the thought of a simple traffic stop for a taillight being turned into an arrest for carrying the wrong gun....Pirate I ain't gunna argue about the record being wrong that's for sure.But we will never get it destroyed.
In wa., it doesn't come up on a driver check. If it would, I can see a problem with over zealous idiots goings too far with it.
I was involved in a minor traffic accident, that was not my fault. I chose to exercise my right not to mention I was carrying. I have a CHL. Just before leaving, the officer wanted to do a sobriety test. It was then that I told him I was packing, because I figured he might see the firearm during the test, and shoot me.Interesting... I don't know the legality of an officer asking you to surrender your weapon. I would guess he's within his jurisdiction to do so. During my CPL class I was informed that you do not have to disclose possession of a firearm to an officer during a stop. Consequently if you wouldn't have answered his question (and in essence not declared having a firearm) I would see no reason why you would have any liability for not surrendering. I'm not versed in law so I could be 100% wrong here.
I however would likely do everything in my power to make the officer's experience as easy as possible. I've always thought that making their job as easy as possible is the best way to avoid a ticket.
I'd really like to see other people's takes on this.
When you purchase a pistol in WA the state is notified by one of the forms, it's entered into a database, so we do have defacto registration of handguns now.So, my question for those who have these answers, what all does he have access to and how does that information come about being on his database? I'm not comfortable with that information being easily accessible, which touches on the evil registration concept, so I'm curious as to how all this came about, and how long this has been the case.
