I was driving back from my best friends wedding in DFW rather late a couple weekends ago. I was sleepy and I am betting money swerving just a tad bit because it had been a long day (and no...no drinking was involved before someone asks). Noticed a vehicle pull up rather briskly behind me and just follow for a good 3/4 of a mile. Officer lights me up and I pull over, turn on the overhead light, roll down the driver window, and hands on the wheel. I was very exhausted and I didn't even notice he had come up on the passenger window so I looked like an idiot fumbling with window controls. Said he paced me going 77 to which I replied I thought it was 70 MPH and I had my cruise set. He informed me of a speed reduction to 60 where he originally paced me. He then said earnestly that given the time (2AM) there are a lot of drunk drivers out and that is why he pulled me over. I gave him my credentials, and he asked if I was armed to which I told him I had one (Ruger LCP) in my pocket and one in the dash compartment (Taurus 709). He simply said alright and told me to wait. After a longer than expected pause, he returned to say everything checked out and that I was free to go. He was very courteous, honest, and I am very glad he wasn't overly concerned about the firearms. Very positive experience and I wish i could let Temple PD that at least that officer made me think highly of their city and LEOs.

P.S. I know better than anyone sleepy driving can be as bad as drunk driving and the officer wouldn't have let me continue if I hadn't been alert enough to be on the road. Just trying to fend off the flamers who ALWAYS abide by EVERY driving law
