(This was in Tucson, AZ) Went for a spirited ride on my bike up the twisty mountain road near my city. Posted speed limit is 35 and as I hit a straight I accelerated up to 50 when I passed the cop. He flipped on his lights and turned around and got me for 15 over. I was carrying my XD Mod2 IWB at 4:00. I turned off the bike and raised my visor and kept my hands on my handlebars until the officer arrived. Once he asked for my license and registration, I told him, “I would like to inform you I am lawfully carrying a concealed weapon on my person.” He asked me where it was and I told him on my right hip, and then he asked if my wallet was in my back pocket, which it was. “Don’t go for yours and I won’t go for mine, does that sound ok to you?” Is what he told me. He then had me unholster my firearm and face it to the right, and place it in the middle of my handlebars. I did so and he then unloaded it and emptied the round in the chamber and gave me back my magazine. Once all that was done, I handed him my license registration and insurance and he ran everything and gave me a citation. In terms of the handling of the firearm, the officer was very professional. He did have several other remarks where he called me stupid, an idiot for speeding, an idiot for riding a motorcycle, and entitled. While I disagree with the way he handled speaking to me and not giving me the respect I was giving him, he did take care of the firearm in a good manner. TL;DR: got pulled over on my motorcycle while carrying, no incidents except for being called names by the LEO. via /r/CCW http://bit.ly/2HpUOmd
