Sgt Riddle
Charles, I've known Sgt Star Riddle for sometime so I emailed her about what she told you in class. Here is her response to me:
It was an opinion on my part when saying that if a person tells another that they are carrying a gun, it is no longer considered “concealed� because someone knows they have it. Case in point, recently a CHL holder followed a reckless driver to a convenience store. When the CHL holder got out of his car, he adjusted his shirt. When he approached the man he asked the man about his reckless driving. The man responded, “Why, do you have a gun?� Our CHL holder told him yes, he did. When the police arrived, the man told the officers that the CHL holder threatened him with his gun, at which time the officers arrested the CHL holder. How could he prove he did not threaten and how did the man know our CHL holder had a gun? That was the point I was trying to make. CHL holders should not be telling people they have a gun, this information could cause them some serious problems. The license was designed to have people carry to protect themselves or others, not to brag about the fact they have a gun…..understand my point?? At no time did I say it was unlawful to tell someone they are carrying……but, being “concealed� means no one knows you have it, right?
