Re: Positive Encounter with Seguin PD

Late last night I was passing through Seguin on highway 123 coming from Ft. Worth down to Corpus. Speed limit rapidly decreases from 70 down to 55, and then 45 coming into town, ... He didn't even seem interested that I was carrying since I was obviously not presenting a threat to him.

Hoping I don't run into the law again anytime soon, but this encounter was definitely positive!
Actually, that sounds as if you were coming into the "suburb" of Geronimo, which is a couple miles outside of Seguin (and includes a school zone as well). The speed limit does drop pretty durn fast right there. The speed limit between Geronimo and Seguin does not go back up to 70, so if you were doing 70 coming into Seguin you were indeed a naughty boy. ;-)

In any case, the SPD has had its problems, but harrassing CHL holders is not one I have heard of. A couple years ago there was some extra security put on for a downtown festival because of some threats by a juvenile gang. It was announced in the paper that barriers would be put up around the public square, and people would be wanded as they entered, no weapons allowed. I marched myself down there with pistol in place and CHL in hand and told the SPD officer at the entrance I had a CHL. He said something like "Good for you," or "Congratulations," shook my hand (which really surprised me) and in I went, no fuss no muss.
