With Car carry and Constitutional Carry its crazy that police wouldn't expect almost everyone (except the criminals) to legally have a firearm in their car.
RIGHT..
i got pulled over by a dps guy near sulphur springs on a 2 lane road 60 in a 55
he asked why i did not tell him i had a chl (at the time) when i handed him my DL, and i stated i was not carrying so i was not required to mention it, at first i thought he was going to dis agree, but his mind must have reminded him of the law as he stated he was unsure or something.
hindsight, i should have in good faith showed him my chl and then said i was not carrying. it would have made him feel more comfortable on a desolate 2 lane .
he then asked why i was not carrying and i explained we had been to VA in bonham and its NO WEAPONS allowed on the reservation/gov property so i leave it at home
he had no idea the va hospital grounds were no weapons at all. he even stated, thats sort of dumb, you have to drive 80 plus miles with no protection.
we ended up having a very positive talk alongside the road for what felt like 10 minutes about fishing, range time, pistols etc
got a warning
we sent a VERY positive letter to his boss the next day
its great to hear of good pullovers , but that rookie would make me nervous, by her words . you would think fresh out of school the LTC would be better ingrained in the brain
i have had to argue on the side of road at 3am in tawokoni about social security number becasue police guy was not up to par , frankly i felt like i was going jail, but i was polite and calm speaking.
he insisted i give him my SSN as part of the ticket, i refused based on his reasoning. that they needed it to track me down if i failed to pay.
i stated...hmm you have my DL, my address and tag...dont you think yall could find me? he didnt understand, so we had a mexican standoff for what seemed like 30 minutes back and forth about a SSN being written on his copy of my ticket.
he walked back to his car and I told my wife she may be driving home with grandkids alone, as i was not giving the number out for some yahoo in the police office to have my SSN , DOB, DL and address and i get a bill for a new car
when he came back, he was still insistent and starting to get crabby, but finally dropped the topic. i kept reminding him of identity theft and the above each time he insisted.
for me i guess my next move would have been request a supervisor, but in east tawokoni at 3AM, i bet it would be the same mentality
