Greetings all,
New member, an unrestricted W&C permit holder due to a death threats via shotgun to the face.
A few weeks ago was returning home on a dark isolated road in between Westminster and Hampstead. It was dark, approx 10:30pm, honestly, was more focused on looking for eyes than I was speedo. I passed a sheriff on the side of the road, looked at speedo and KNEW he would light me up. He did, 14mph over posted speed. The deputy was "younger" late 20s, early 30s, I pulled over, shut down, turned on dome, both hands on Wheel as he approached. He told me what I already knew, I explained I was more looking for eyes than watching speed. He asked for DL, registration, ins. I advised I was a W&C permit holder, he asked if I had firearm, I advised I did on right hip. He asked where I needed to get docs from, I replied L hip pocket. He asked I keep R hand on Wheel and get wallet with left. I did as asked, he asked where reg, and ins. Was, I replied in wallet. Got the info for him, asked if he wanted permit, he said if it was readily available, (it is the first thing you see when I open wallet) he asked my driving record, I replied "clean" He went to his cruiser, ran my info. I was ready for my ticket, I was wrong. He returned, gave me a warning. He advised many LEO'S would remove me from vehicle just for their protection, but he was a "gun guy" and felt comfortable with me remaining in vehicle. He said I handled the stop the best way possible, and never felt threatened.
Hats off to the CC sheriff dep. Very professional operation.
Cheers,
Tom
