Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Got lectured by a Cop today......

Double eh? That's pretty cool. I was only good for about 15 over in my Subaru wagon years ago. I generally keep our little Matrix at about 10 over the yellow sign. Unless I'm in a sporting mood.

Sure don't want to meet that copper in NM.

Geno

Cops don't make the laws. But I get it. Politicians and "dindu nuffins" should obey the law and be punished to the full extent, or maybe even killed when they don't but old, white, upper middle class campfire members should get a pass.

I said nothing of cops making laws, I was about cops that agree with such laws.

Why would somebody hand a cop their CCL if they aren’t carrying?

speed limits may be set for safety, but they will not ever put a motor officer on my street (I asked several times). We have a lot of people doing 40 and 50 in a residential, which is dangerous. They set up either on a main street where going 50 in the 40 is not as dangerous, or on the highway where it changes from 65 to 55 and enrich the city.

My brother did get stopped once for doing 56 in the 55. That patrolman had a reputation as a prick, someone finally blew his garage door off with dynamite.

Right? I don't understand any of it, or how it even came up in discussion.

Every once in awhile you run into a good one. It helps to live in a small town like I do...I’m on first name basis with every one of our LEO’s and judges.

The last time I got pulled over in a small town I lucked out it seemed. They usually don’t give warnings! Caught red handed, pulled over, LEO noticed an NRA Life Member sticker on my rear window of my truck. Asks if I’m carrying, to which I answer yes. “Whatchagot?” was his follow up question. I told him it was an Ed Brown Special Forces 45. He smiled and flipped out at the same time, asking me if I’d show it to him. “Man.....I’ve always wanted one of those...that’s why I asked you”. I pulled it out, unloaded it, handed it to him opened up. “Wow...that thing is sweet sir...I’m saving my money right now for one. Thanks for letting me see it...it’s a beauty!” After fondling it for a while, he hands it back to me he said “Oh, sir. Please slow down ok?” “I’ll be glad to and thanks”

I wear my gun outside my pants for all the honest world to feel.

Are 1830s clothes machine washable or do you get to wear that sour-milk menstrual smell until your pioneer parking lot carnival is over?

Yeah, they probably would come back to life once I learned that the driver was indeed going the speed limit. miles

Delicate cycle and Tumble dry low

Driving across Texas at 55 'back in the day' wasn't much fun.

So, when they run your license, how much information comes up?

C H L Instructors here advise that you should do it............ when we first got CC, the refs required it whether you were armed or not.

Besides..... aren’t we supposed to be extra nice to our Public Servants?

Maybe he doesn't want to and prefers that you do it yourself.

If you have a ccl, and are pulled over, you must inform LE. Immediately.

You can tell how much the Government cares about our safety by the way they protect our Southern border. The locals want money. As does the Feds. miles

As long as I'm the white, middle class lawbreaker, I'm good with that.

35 years ago I found myself driving in Kentucky, and I was used to ignoring to some extent the yellow curve speed signs. I started going into curves slightly over the sign, and thought I wasn't going to make it out the other side. Those signs were serious and maybe should have been lower.

Lol, Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?
