I got pulled over again for 73 in a 65 by a state trooper about a month ago. Lots of what I think might be mitigating factors here. I was silent and gave both licenses, he asked what kind of pistol I was carrying. I told him I was not carrying today because I was returning from Fort Hood. That got a smile from him and some friendly chatter. He also made note, how lucky am I, of the Houston Police Department boxing team shirt I was wearing. I didn't think I was speeding but I bit my tongue, ended up with a warning.

I just got new tires after this encounter and figured out that my old ones were way bigger than stock, so I was probably going 4-5 mph mph faster than it showed...that explains a lot. At least I know I can usually get away with at least 5 over, as thats what I must have been doing for the last 5 years

So I finally got pulled over, crusing along on the rural highway near my house in Anderson/Carlos. It was a quick affair, I wasn't really paying attention to my speed, but I guess it was about 80 in a 65/70. I knew I was boned right when I saw him, just pulled over. Got my info out and gave it to him off the bat, I said "I have a CHL and I am armed." He didn't say one word about it. Just asked what the hurry was and where I was coming from. Of course the guy turns out to live a few houses down from me.

So that was it, he let me go without so much as a written warning. Just "Can you slow it down for me Mr. Clark?" Yes sir

I've never, ever received a warning before, take that for what you can.
