PS> makes me wonder what he would have done if I had it on my hip rather than in the car. hmmmm.

The reason why I said this is because I bet he would have asked me to surrender it for the duration of the stop.

To me, that is soo wrong. I believe it's safest in my holster, but he can abuse it if he claims safety. Argh!

Just realized the speed limit WAS 70, but 65 at night.

What a crock.... oh well...nothing happened.

From Austin, I took 290 to go all the way to Houston. I left at 9:30 PM. Very dark, hard to see. Big Mistake.

I ended up getting tagged (for the first time ever) by Trooper Tompkins for going over 65mph in Waller County 2 miles before Lawerance Marshall Dealership. I was confused at first because I was going 70-71mph (true mistake).

Asked to get out of vehicle and move to side of highway. Presented ID and CHL when asked for and he asks where the gun is. I told him it was concealed under stuff on the passanger seat. (Long trips hurt my back with it strapped on). He shines his Maglite in the window... can't see it so it's okay. 3 minutes later I get a warning and told to stay safe. No questions. Very smooth.

Total stop time = 8 minutes.

I'm happy. THought I'd share.
