no no no- i obviously was NOT open carrying. duh. but this was the first time i have gotten pulled over while ARMED. i drove all the way from houston to manatee county today, and had a headlight out the whole way. go figure, when i'm 10 minutes from home i get pulled over. i was going south, and cop was going north- i saw him turn around, and when he finally caught up to me, he got right behind me. i didn't even wait for him to turn the lights on, i just pulled over. he came up and said "i guess you know what's going on", i said "yeah i've been driving all day and had yet to be stopped." and then i handed him my insurance, DL, and CWL and said, "i just want to let you know i have a concealed weapon license and i am armed." he said "ok. is everything on your DL correct?" told him yes, and he said he'd be right back. never said a word about the gun or even asked where it was. he was very talkative and a real nice guy for it being 215 in the morning...oh- no ticket just told me to get it fixed when i could.
