The Cop wants to go home safe and works in a crazy world. Its our job to defuse the situation by showing our CCW permit and giving the Officer the good guy vibe/info that he is desperatly trying to descern in less than a minute. If you choose to exit the vehicle you have totally changed the officers mind set, his reaction time and protection (your vehicle). If you choose to not show your permit and exit your vehicle before being asked then its gonna be your lucky day and you get the vet cop or its kadeebarr the door as shown above. I choose to stay in my vehicle and control my side of the traffic stop.
