matter of fact we spoke to his office and got his supervisors name and sent a mailed letter to express just how professional he was.

the dodges look a bit small for large frame tall troopers

Don't know if the Trooper was my son or not but THANK YOU for your extra thoughtfullness in sending the note to the Trooper's supervisor.

once they run your license they will know if you have a CHL.... listening to the local PD this morning officer requested 28/29.... dispatch came back "28/29 clear... by they way she holds a valid CHL"... now if she showed the officer her CHL i dont know... he didnt request a check on that...


for me.... even if i'm not carry under CHL... i.e. MPA i will show my CHL... courtesy to the officer

Yes, I know my license would indicate it but I figure giving it pro-actively is not going to increase my chance of getting a citation. With any luck it will do the opposite but in any event it shouldn't hurt to do so.

Our DPS and Sate Troopers have my utmost respect. They are out there all alone miles from help. I have never met one who was not well trained and polite. I travel often and have received a few "well deserved" citations but more often warning. I am not CHL but do carry a pistol concealed in my truck on the road.

Last week it got in the 70's I suffered from cabin fever so I gathered up 7 hand guns and 4 long guns, ammo and spent 4 hours at our range one county away. One the way back I was stopped for speeding. The patrol man walked up looking in the bed of my truck. hand on his side arm and ask for my license and insurance. I complied and said I want to inform you that I have a weapon in the truck. That may be wrong or right but I always inform a patrolman. He asked where is the gun and I replied which one?

He looked at me and said what? I explained I had been to the range and had several in the back seat. He glance in the back and ask how I like the new range. We chatted a short while about the new range. He then told me to stay in the truck and went to his car to check me out. He returned and handed me a warning ticket. I thanked him for the warning and said be safe out here. His reply was you too neighbor.
