I got stopped for speeding right after we moved here. Was carrying concealed, no permit, as is legal. Told the officer I was carrying. He had me exit the truck, removed my pistol from its holster(as is legal for him to do), had me sit in the truck while he ran my license.
He came back, handed me my license, unloaded pistol, the mag, and asked me to slow down in the future and to have a nice evening.
thats kind of the way it works now, sort of, more so in outlying areas.
on the other hand prior to arizona establishing the right to carry without permit needed this happened.
guy who had a ccw had a gun wedged between the front seats, driving through goofus land, i think chandler, gets pulled over. Was him and his wife. cop arrests wife who does not have ccw for weapons violation as gun was in ready access to her too. I solved the problem at the time as my wife has her own ccw now. Not needed in arizona now, but still good to have when buying firearms.
