Well we have been having record high temperatures the last two days here, and i decided to take my new rottweiller pup out for a walk. As always I left the house with my 1911 and spare reload firmly attached to my side, i was a little dressed up becuase an hour earlier i had finished my oral board interview at the local police department.
About five minutes into my walk i noticed Officer Kurht running a speed trap just down the street on my side of the road. i had done several ride alongs in the past with the police department and the latest one with him. i continued down the sidewalk and then paused briefly to untangle the pup's leash from his legs and i looked up to see him walking over. My puppy took refuge between my legs from the sun and sat down. Our conversation went as follows.
Officer Kurht : "Nice puppy..... aw is he scared?"
Me : "No, he is just shy around new people, he is really very friendly."
Officer Kurht : "Ahh, i see. Well i got a question for you."
Me : "Sure, whats up?"
Officer Kurht : "And I think you know whats coming...."
Me : "yes.."
Officer Kurht : " Do you always walk around with a gun?"
Me : "Yes, but i usually concealled carry, but its so hot out that i didnt want to deal with it today."
Officer Kurht : "Thats understandable, do you have a CPL?"
Me : "Yes, would you like to see it?"
Officer Kurht : "No, thats ok, i dont need to see it. Can i get your name?"
Me : "Yes.."
I took out my driver's license and cpl and them both over to him.
Me : "Washington is an open carry state and i dont have to have one, but i have no problem showing you."
Officer Kurht : "Its fine, im just taking your name in case somone calls it in."
Me : "No problem. I just got done with my oral board this morning."
Officer Kurht : "Oh, you did the testing yesterday? wow, it was a hot day for a PT test."
Me "yeah, i know, they couldn't have picked it better, but at least its over."
Officer Kurht : "Ok, well good luck, and try to stay cool."
Me : " Thanks, take it easy."
and with that he walked back to his patrol car and resumed monitoring the radar for speeders, it only took about a minute for him to see one and he took off after him.
and that was that. Officer Kurht is always very nice and easy to talk to, but he defenetly had his game face on when he came over initally to talk to me. I think he recognized me part way through becuase he tone changed and he became less assertive.
With that I should add that i believe this is the first LEO contact for Pullman and I pretty much had to walk right past him with my strong side showing to get a reaction.:celebrate
