What Cops Really Think About Gun Laws

About this video

Colion sits down with Eric LaVine, a detective and host of the podcast ‘Two Cops One Donut,’ to discuss law enforcement perspectives on traffic stops, concealed carry, interrogation techniques, and building trust between police and citizens. Colion and Eric examine how gun owners can communicate effectively with officers during encounters, and Eric shares his view that transparency and hands-visible cooperation significantly reduce tension during stops. They also explore Eric’s approach to interrogations, detective work, and the balance between officer safety and de-escalation.

Key takeaways

• Eric recommends that during traffic stops, gun owners roll down all windows, keep hands visible on the wheel or window frame, and voluntarily disclose they are carrying even in states without a duty-to-inform requirement—Colion reports this approach has virtually eliminated tickets for him personally.
• Eric explains his interrogation method: he fast-talks suspects through Miranda rights as procedural paperwork before they decide to lawyer up, then builds rapport by addressing their questions—he claims a near-perfect confession rate when suspects don’t immediately request counsel.
• Eric argues that constitutional carry is a right he supports, but cautions that open carry makes gun owners tactical targets and that furtive movement (digging for documents before the officer approaches) escalates perceived threat during stops.
