Pretty jacked up that you can get flagged with a firearm for simply pissing someone off by the apparent refusal to give your name. I have this crazy notion that the threat of lethal force should only be a response to being threatened with lethal force in the first place.

In reply to P3PPY :

An impressive number of cops are comfortable pulling out their guns in fairly minor situations. It’s happened to me twice, one of those times was my own driveway because I was outside at an hour no decent people are up.  His excuse was that he has a family to go home to and didn't know how I would react. That I also have a family that would rather I not be perforated in my own yard trying to leave for work was of no importance because blue lives matter.

I've had some similar interactions with LEOs. Apparently driving a 20 year old pickup with a toilet in the bed is frowned upon in certain affluent neighborhoods. Fun fact, they really don't appreciate being called Barney Fife. Which I find funny as Barney Fife would have been an exemplary officer of the law compared to these yahoos. 
 

Thankfully, any time that I have been doing something that may or may not have been illegal and I've had interactions with the law, they've always been surprisingly decent human beings.

Quoted for truth. I do not want to get caught in the ditch on the other side that says everyone in that position is power-tripping.

For reasons, I've had dozens of official interactions with LEO, including a bunch where I was in a precarious position, but only a handful gave me pause about the profession and the judicial preference for their testimony.
