This guy was very nice. He said he's retiring in a month.
I rode in the DPS truck with him to a location up the road where the tow trucks hauled the vehicles. We talked a bit about the sad state of our judicial system that lets some of these people out in a few years for violent crime, while others stay locked up for long periods for minor offenses.
He didn't seem the least bit uncomfortable with my armed status. I imagine he's learned to tell the difference between a criminal and a law abiding citizen in his many years in law enforcement. I pray God keeps him safe for the remainder of his time with DPS and that he enjoys life post-retirement. I was very shaken after the accident, and he handled everything with class and professionalism.

My wreck
LEO (state trooper) was very professional and did not give me any trouble regarding my CHL. He let me know that he was not at all bothered by my having a gun. He seemed to encourage drivers, especially female, traveling with a gun.
I was carrying two guns-- one in my purse and one on my body. He did not even ask about them.
