Yikes,

I hope that wasn't when you came up for the edged weapons seminar.

I know quite a few of the LEO around here, so I'll ask if disarming CHL holders is something being promoted from on high....or just this guys preference.

Sorry that happened to you in my neck of the woods.

This was back in July of 2005....my Wife had a very heavy foot that day. I was so busy laughing at the fact that she got a speeding ticket (Her one and only) that I really didn't let the disarm get under my skin. The guys were pleasant and obviously following a department policy.....though I don't agree with it.

She was not nearly as amused! LOL. I still like Nacadoches.......good folks over there. I just chalked it up to paying our part to keep Houston our of East Texas

I have had a combination of many of the choices occur during a traffic stop (About five since 1996). I have voiced that I had a gun, been silent, and actually was pulled over once when I was not armed.

I have been disarmed once in Nacadoches. What bothered me about this stop was that he had a cadet and instructed him to disarm folks with a CHL.

All but one of the State Troopers in Houston was very pleasant and he just had a chip on his shoulder...nothing worth getting worked up over. We were friends by the end of the stop.

I really feel that in each situation that MY attitude controlled the flow of the incident. I said everything that needed to be said with a smile on my face and a thank you. I received a couple of tickets, but I earned them and can't place any blame on anyone other than myself.
