First, I want to apologize for reviving an old(er) thread, as I haven't signed on in a few weeks. I was bit by a copperhead on my left ankle when I was 11, and was told to be thankful I was a chubby kid as they were usually fatal under 75 pounds. I was in Lafayette, TN, my hometown. Dad rushed me to MCGH, who called the paramedics, iced my leg, and sent me to Lebanon. By the time I got to Lebanon, my leg, from the knee down, was swollen to the point it was solid white. The ER doc went off on the paramedics because apparently you are not supposed to ice a snake bite. I was immeately put back in the ambulnce and rushed to Vanderbilt where they monitored the circulation in my leg and could rush me into emergency surgery if the swelling cut off said circulation. Stayed there overnight and would up on crutches until the swelling went down. 22 years later, other than the scars where they lanced the bites for suction, can't tell it happened. Since then my opinion is the only good snake is a dead one.

My LCP is named Elsie ( i know, how original huh) My Taurus PT-940 is called Bull

I'm a Metal Gear fan, so right now my ringtone is the Codec from said game.

Correct, I was respnding to the OP. Sorry for any confusion. When I hit reply there were no other comments. By the time I hit submit, you were there crotalus. When you type with 2 fingers like me it takes a while!

No, not true. You don't have to tell him anything upfront. However, some will say any encounter will go smoother if you do mention it, especially if your sidearm may become exposed before the officer discovers you have a HCP. I have been on both sides of this. I was stopped once for speeding on 840 and was drilled by the officer for not informing him when he initally came to my window, just like you. I have also been pulled over(well my wife was, I was in the passenger seat) in Jackson and my sidearm was in the glovebox with the regisration. I informed the officer this and he told me just to lay it in the floor.
