hah... i was nervous enough. you should have seen me when he asked to see my gun. all i could think about was ending up on the news.....

"A san angelo man tried to pull a gun on a THP officer today... which ended in a bloodshed" i was kinda weirded out at first.

thank you sir!

when i first got my CHL in 2001, I got pulled over on my way to camp with my wife at port aransas. on the highway, doing checks for a new law that was put into affect that said you must slow down 20 mph below speed limit when passing an officer on a highway.

anyways, got pulled over by highway patrol. never been pulled over before while carrying. had my 9mm on my hip. told my wife to keep her hands in the open as i figured the officer knew i had a CHL by my plates (figured it shows in the computer).

anyways, my wife got paranoid. puts her hands on the dash :) i immediatly give the officer my card and he asks if i'm carrying. "yes sir".

officer - "Where?"

me - "on my right hip sir"

officer - "looks uncomfortable... (smiles) what kind of gun is that?"

me - "baby eagle 9mm sir"

officer - "wow! nice! mind if i see it??"

me " ummm, i don't want to reach for my weapon... feels weird"

officer "haha... how bout this... i walk back to my car, you take it out, unload it, and put it on the dash"

me - "ok... whatever you say"

officer - comes back to truck "wow... really nice" (picks up gun and inspects... ) "have a great day... be safe... thanks for evening the score with the badguys"

Swear to God... wife and i were kinda shocked. pretty fun looking back at it :)
