I talked to my son and he insists it was loop 375 going past Briggs field westbound He had not just left the base, he was on Texas 375 coming from the area were Gander sporting store is. There was a number of other issues with this stop along with the "firearm" issue. A ,the ticket misstated what the speed limit was were the infraction occurred.B the information on the ticket showing location was incorrect , it said fort bliss not state highway 375. Anyhow , I suggested he talk to the officer or his supervisor . He called the station to talk to the officer and has been told the ticket will be dropped. I am glad he did not have to go the route of meeting with a supervisor to review the dash cam to review the " were and what speed limits ".My son said up front he was indeed speeding,just not to the extent the citation showed. As to the awareness of the firearm by the MP ,he asked my son if any firearms are in the vehicle . My son being honest gave the answer in the " affirmative sir, there is". So I am pleased he was able to resolve it. He will be going in to the station to get confirmation in writing. He said it would be bad to get back from deployment from Iraqi and have warrant out for failure to pay a ticket. I agreed with that. The thing that really got me about the whole deal was that " federal highway" bit, sheeees.
