One of the 1st things I thought was wrong was that having the firearm holstered on your hip while you are driving means that it is concealed. Is their any legal precedence to support this because I am pretty sure that there is no law or legal definition stating this. This was in the video.
(Video) Another is that they said if I have a firearm concealed and a CCDW that I have to inform an officer of both of these, even if it is a simple traffic stop. I have skimmed KRS and have found no such law, it is possible that I am over looking it. They also talked like the officer has the right to remove the firearm "for their safety". Maybe I interpret KRS 237.104(2) different than some but it seems pretty clear that this is not the case:
(2) No person, unit of government, or governmental organization shall, during a period of disaster or emergency as specified in KRS Chapter 39A or at any other time,
take, seize, confiscate, or impound a firearm, firearm part, ammunition, ammunition component, or any deadly weapon or dangerous instrument from any person.
(Instructor) The next thing that I caught was implying that LE can trace firearms back to the owner. Where we don't have a registry system it seems that this would be very difficult. Unless they go to the maker of the firearm and figure out where it was shipped from there this seems impossible.
(Book) Then they said that the only safe way to carry a SAO revolver is with the hammer down over an empty cylinder. With modern revolvers it would be just as dangerous to carry a DA/SA full as it would be a SAO but they mentioned nothing of that. They said if it was dropped hammer down then it could go off, I don't see how anything would stop a DA from doing the same.
I brought some of these up in class but the instructor's usual answer was "Well this says it" like that wad a definite reason it was right. Other times we were rushing through and I didn't want to interrupt and I didn't have the chance to talk to him after class.
So, please correct me if I am wrong on any of these.
