Good Interaction With a Frio County Deputy

[tallmike]

I got pulled over for doing 81 in a 75 on my way back from Laredo the other day. The deputy was sitting in the median and as soon as I got close his lights came on, since I was the one passing the other guy I assumed it was for me so I just went ahead pulled on over to the right shoulder.

Once he got to my window and asked for my license I handed him my license and CHL. He asked if I was armed, I said yes it was in the glove box and in order to get my insurance card I would need to reach in there. He said "Thats not necessary, I guess you dont get in trouble much or you wouldnt have one of these" holding my CHL in his hand.

He handed me back my license and CHL asked me to slow down and told me to have a good day. You cant ask for a better stop than that.

Congratulations on the good stop.

It seems like you hear more and more of these good contacts with LEO. I hope the relationship between LEO and CHL is finally becoming less threatening for the police and maybe better training as to what we have to go through to get a CHL...a clean record.

Nice stop.

I wonder what the stats are for how many CHLers have actually shot a LEO? I'd assume that it's a very, very small number. Maybe this should be taught to LEOs to help alleviate some fears... not saying it isn't already, just that some may have been sleeping during that part of class.

I had a very similar stop in SA. I was accelerating onto 1604 from the Forum and got lit up by a Univercal City officer in the median. Not for speeding but my car matched one just reported stolen from the Forum. I handed him my licenceses without insurance and told him about the firearm in the glovebox and he said "Have a good day sir" while jogging back to his car talking on the radio. I wasn't stopped more than 90 seconds.
