Went to a wedding in Canton last weekend....I love fishing, but never been to Tawakoni...and I knew it was close....There was a boat on the side of the road, stopped to look at it, guy came out we talked about 30 mins, told me how to get to the Sabine River bridge, where the DAM dumps out into the river.... so me and my lady drove back the other way, twisty road...got to the bridge, parked, go out, looked around, watched a few ppl catch some sandbass....

Headed back up the road after about 20 mins....NORMALLY I set my cruise control and cruise and the one time I didn't.....

I might have been going 66, in a 60...Im thinking closer to 63, but who knows....SO...he zaps me, pulls me over....

Now mind you I haven't been pulled over in at least 9 years or more....and didn't have my CHL back then....

So I remember all the ppl that have gotten pulled over ( including my CHL instructor) just hand them TXDL and CHL...So i did, kept both hands on the wheel....

He says, "pulled you over because the speed limit through here is 60"

Never said, how fast I was going...but anyways...

Then he noticed my CHL on the bottom and says

"Are you carrying today"..
I said "yes sir"
he says, "where is your firearm, I said, "I have one in the glovebox and one in the door, he jokingly says, you have two?"
I said, "yes, kinda far from home" he says, "yeah, can never be to careful"
and then says "if I write you a warning, will you slow down" ... I said "absolutely"
he hands my CHL, and takes my DL back to the car

comes back with my warning, and says....so what kind of gun do you carry, I said I just switched to and LCP, easier to conceal...
he says, I have one of those, love it, it's a great little gun...he told me what his off duty carry was, but I forgot, and we chatted a little more about carry guns in general...

Then he says, now I have to ask...you're not one of guys that lets everyone see your gun are you?

I said no sir, not a fan of open carry...

He said, "me either, I don't want to lose the element of surprise, or be the first target...all these guys like it's the wild west...I respect everyones right to carry, but we don't need to see your guns"

Anyways, then he said, Thank you, have a safe drive back home.
