Kinda like when certain people meet, and they know each is armed...They un-holster their weapons and put them on the table in front of each other...

So that they feel everything is one the table, so to speak...

I always understood that gesture to be a sign of respect, or at least establishing neutral ground in a way...

Interesting concept...If I am disarmed, why don't they disarm...Seems only fair...

Y'all be nice its Monday morning...I'm allowed one of these types of posts a day...

"Don't pick it up or load it till we leave..."

Lordy...

"Why, oh why, didn't I take the BLUE pill!"

BTW,

Charles, don't speed! That comes from my Dad...

Dad actually called me as I was about to sign the thing...

He must have known...

Yep,

It was inevitable...62 in a 45...

My Dad's advice when I told him about it..."Don't speed!" (thanks Dad, yer a champion of the obvious! )

It was on the feeder road going north into I-45, just north of the Beltway...

Got me dead to rights...So I'm ok with it I suppose...No signs in that area where he clocked me, but whatever...

Pulled over into a parking lot to get out of the Right of Way to make for a safer stop for everyone involved...

I got out the appropriate paperwork and cards and all that...He already started the citation, so there's no turning back once that ball gets rolling...

The only thing that bothered me was that he ask where "it" was...I told him, and he said this...

"Good thing I didn't ask you to step out of the truck."

I was a bit taken back by that, and decided to ignore the jab, if it was one...

I'm classifying this as a negative stop...

#1 Because I got a *$&%# ticket...

#2 I think he believes people with guns are dangerous and can't be trusted.

#3 I was heading downtown to meet with COH public works and engineering to get signoffs on our new project...They are just a joy to deal with...[/sarcasm]

Y'all be careful out there nah...
