Cops and concealed carry?

[Larry in Bend]

I'm a CCW holder - I got stopped recently for having the factory fog lamps on my Chev truck lit up on a foggy nite in Central Or. Here we don't have to alert the cops to the presence of a firearm but this State Cop was so aggressive and ego-driven that I felt it was the best thing to do. I gave him my permit with my driver's license. He stepped back and asked if I was "currently carrying a weapon." "In the console" says I. The guy continued to be a jerk but no ticket was issued and no further mention of my handgun was made.
