I got a warning because I had a burned out license plate light. I think the response from LE anytime anywhere for a burned out license plate light would either be a warning, or (worst case) a ticket that would be dropped by fixing the light and going by the station or court house to prove it. Anyone ever had anything different happen?

It's time to lock this thread.

It's not my fault it was a great deal on a car and it's holding up perfectly!

I think that's a great car and a great deal. I'd like to have one...but I can justify another gun better than another car.

Now that we're off topic, thanks for the compliments. I have thought since the stop that the sheriff might have just wanted a close look at the car we were driving...a 2003 Mercury Marauder. It's big, fast, and intimidating...and in your rear view mirror looks like an under cover car. I've had people rapidly pull over when I've come up behind them.

We were pulled over on I-10 about 9 pm near Sealy by a sheriff's deputy...turns out it was for a burned out license plate light. So, having read all the great stories here I was ready...dome light, window down, hands on wheel. When the deputy gets to the window I told him I have my license in my front pocket. He says OK, and I retrieve it and hand over my DL, insurance, and CHL together since I keep them all together in my wallet. He never says anything about the CHL or gun (yes it was on me), writes the warning, and we exchange "thank you"s. Here's another case where the officer seems to get it...no fuss over my CHL.
