carry permit

[beowulf]

True story from a Kansas State Highway Patrol officer:

I made a traffic stop on an elderly lady the other day for speeding on
U.S. 166 Eastbound at Mile Marker 73 just East of Sedan , KS.
I asked for her driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance.
The lady took out the required information and handed it to me.
In with the cards I was somewhat surprised (due to her advanced age)
to see she had a conceal carry permit. I looked at her and asked if
she had a weapon in her possession at this time.

She responded that she indeed had a .45 automatic in her glove box.
Something---body language, or the way she said it---made me want
to ask if she had any other firearms. She did admit to also having
a 9mm Glock in her center console. Now I had to ask one more
time if that was all. She responded once again that she did have
just one more, a .38 special in her purse. I then asked her what
was she so afraid of.

She looked me right in the eye and said, "Not a damn thing!"

I heard it as an old guy from Colorado. Still funnier than heck! In Mich,when pulled over you MUST inform the officer immediately if you are carring. The fact I was carring probably helped me out NOT getting a ticket!

If you don't have a carry permit, you should get it. This is the best oportunity for you to protect your loved ones & yourself. Please don't wait, do it now. Take care...

just as an aside - Oklahoma also requires that the first words out of your mouth when engaging a law enforcement officer is "I have a conceled weapons permit" even if you are not carrying at the time....
