Скачать или смотреть LAWYER: 5 Things Gun Owners Can NO LONGER Do Court Just Ruled

You’re driving home from the range. Your firearm is legal. It’s secured.
You think you know the rules.

Then red and blue lights flash behind you…
and you have no idea that five recent court decisions have changed everything about how armed drivers must behave during traffic stops.

I’m a criminal defense attorney, and I’ve seen responsible gun owners lose their permits, lose their guns, face jail time, and walk into felony charges — all because they relied on outdated information.

In the next twelve minutes, I’ll show you the 5 things gun owners can no longer do during traffic stops, the penalties you’re facing if you get this wrong, and the exact words that keep you safe, legal, and free.

Let’s break it down.

🔥 1️⃣ Silence No Longer Protects You in Duty-to-Inform States

2024 and 2025 court rulings reshaped firearm disclosure laws.
In states like Michigan, North Carolina, Nebraska, Arkansas, Alaska, Louisiana, and Texas, disclosure must be:

✔️ Immediate
✔️ Verbal
✔️ Explicit

A 40-second delay is now a violation.
Handing over your permit is NOT disclosure.
Simply waiting for the officer to ask can cost you:

• $500 fine + 6-month suspension (MI first offense)
• $1,000 fine + revocation (MI second offense)

Correct script:

“Officer, I have a valid concealed carry permit. I am currently armed. My firearm is in the center console. How would you like me to proceed?”

Anything less puts you at risk.

🔥 2️⃣ Officer Safety Language Removes All Your Options

If an officer says:
“Step out of the vehicle for officer safety.”

You no longer get to debate, explain, argue, or negotiate.

This expansion of Pennsylvania v. Mimms means:
Once “officer safety” is invoked, refusal = obstruction.

Your script:

“For the record, I’m complying under protest. My hands will remain visible.”

You comply. You document. You fight later — not roadside.

🔥 3️⃣ Your Permit Is Now Digitally Linked to Your License

In many states, officers know you’re a permit holder before they approach your window.

If you forget to disclose?
It looks deliberate — not accidental.

Penalties in states like Arkansas, Michigan, NC, Ohio, Texas now include:

• Jail time
• Permit suspension
• Fines up to $1,000

Correct action: Disclose before any documents are exchanged.

🔥 4️⃣ “Not on Your Person” Is No Longer Good Enough

After United States v. Rahimi and related rulings, firearm “location legality” changed.

Courts now consider “within reach” to include:
• Center consoles
• Glove boxes
• Cupholders
• Door compartments

Even if the firearm is cased or unloaded, courts may count it as “accessible” during a stop.

Correct script:

“Officer, the firearm is in the center console, secured, and I have not accessed it. How would you like me to proceed?”

State laws differ. Your wording matters.

🔥 5️⃣ Voluntary Disclosure ≠ Protection

In non-inform states, voluntarily telling the officer you’re armed can trigger:

• Voluntary searches
• “Safety inspections”
• UCW investigations
• Accidental waiver of Fourth Amendment rights

If you disclose, you must still protect your rights.

Correct script:

“Officer, are you asking or ordering me to allow inspection of my firearm?
I do not consent to searches. I will keep my hands visible and follow lawful orders.”

Knowing the difference between a request and an order keeps you out of handcuffs.

🛡️ THE 4 PHRASES EVERY GUN OWNER MUST KNOW

Say them calmly. Say them clearly. Say them on camera:

1️⃣ “Am I free to leave?”
2️⃣ “I plead the Fifth.”
3️⃣ “I want a lawyer.”
4️⃣ “I do not consent to searches.”

These four lines protect your rights in every state, in every encounter.
