It's Wednesday and seems to be old guys day at the range in the morning. After shooting my .270 through the chronograph the fellow at the table to my right started chatting about what kind of velocities I was seeing. Oh, 3100 - 3160 fps. It's a 155 gr. HP varmint load. Shoots right at 1" at 100 yards. Yada yada yada...
Then he says: "My wife was stopped by a DPS officer in Chandler yesterday and two of my guns were in the car. We both have our concealed carry permits, though." (Not required in AZ.)
"Oh? Any thing happen?" I asked.
"Not Really", he answered. "The cop asked her if there was a gun in the car." - A typical question for a traffic officer in Chandler, AZ that I have been asked by a city cop at a traffic stop myself.
"And?"
"The officer asked her where it was and she smiled and said 'In the console beside me.'"
He said the conversation continued:
"Is there another gun in the car, Ma'am?"
"Yes."
"Where is that one?"
"In the glove compartment." Still smiling like the charming grandmother she is.
"Is there another gun in the car???"
"Yes, there is, officer."
"And where might that one be?"
"In my purse."
"May I ask what it is you're afraid of?"
"Nothing."
The officer stifled a laugh and smiled himself while he told her to not fidgit or reach for anything while he went back to his car to write her citation. He gave her a warning ticket to watch her speed and asked her to 'please drive safely.'
Funny.
