On my way back from an AZ vacation I decided to come back accross the dam rather than go all the way down stream. I was pulling a small trailer so I knew that I would be asked to open it for inspection. As the officer walked up to the van he asked me to step out and open the trailer so he could look in. He also asked me not to touch my "pistol" while I was out of the vehicle. When I opened the trailer up he barely looked in. His next question was how many rounds was I carrying. When I began to count it up in my head, he asked me if it was over a thousand, to which I kind of chuckled and said no. As I was shutting the trailer door he asked me if I came accross the dam often. I told him no. He then asked me if the next time I came accross the dam would I please put my "pistol" (I carry a revolver) in the glove box and then re-holster after the inspection. I didn't answer him just gave him a quick look directly in the eyes and then walked back up and got in my van.
On a side note, I carried the whole time in AZ. I had exactly 4 comments the whole week. All of them basically boiled down to what was I carrying? All of which ended with a discussion of various revolvers. Saw no one else OC, just my wife and I. No one else even glanced at us, no big deal. The only time I took it off was to eat in a place that served alcohol per law.
I love AZ. Great people over there.
