Was on my way home from work the other day and passed one of the local LEOs . Looked back and saw him turn around . Checked my speed (yup fine) , seatbelt? Check. Inspection sticker? Yup , good .
He finally catches up with me and I pull over . Had my wallet out already and all papers in order . He came up and asked if I knew why he pulled me over . I honestly didn't know and told him so .
he said " your missing your front plate " (need both in this state)
"can I see your license , registration , and proof of insurance ? "
"Sure " I said , and handed over all of it as well as my concealed permit .
He said " I don't need that" referring to permit.
"are you carrying right now?"
I said yes and the next thing he said threw me off guard . He said , while laughing a little " Are you planning on using it?"
I almost didn't know what to say but ended up saying , while laughing myself " No , "
He proceeded to tell me that he's been seeing a lot of people with concealed permits lately .
We talked for a few minutes and he said he didn't have any problems with people having permits or guns for that matter , as long as they were "lawful" with them .
He ended up just giving me a warning for the plate and sent me on my way . In all , it was a great "non incident" .
People keep talking about the "bad " incidences with LEOs , but need to get out the good ones to .
