I get a kick as to you being a “cvlian”now. The Police are a “civilian” police force. This type of thinking sets up the LEO vs “civilian” mentality. They are just civilians working a job as a member of a police force.Jusme wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 5:57 am I have had the pleasure, as a former LEO, to have been able to work with several DPS troopers. I have also had, as a civilian, and opportunity, to talk with them during traffic stops. I guess, I have just been lucky, all of my encounters, have been positive, even when I was younger, and received, a few speeding tickets (which were well deserved)
I have not been stopped by a DPS trooper since getting my LTC, so I have no stories to relate about the experience. I have spoken to some while OC, and have engaged in conversations, with them about their perspective, on OC, and LTC in general. None that I have spoken to, had anything negative to say, and were very happy to see people taking it upon themselves to be armed for protection.

Re: Pulled over for speeding - you won't believe what happened next!
I was pulled over by a Tx State Trooper. I was asked to turn off my truck, throw the keys in the passenger seat and step to the rear of my truck. Soon I was surrounded by 5 squad cars and had a dog checking out my truck. The Senior Officer sat by me on my tailgate and cut jokes the whole time. When they sent me on my way the rookie had to tell I was just getting a verbal for doing 82 in a 80 zone and I needed to slow it down. Guess they had a look out for my make of truck. When I got to the Sierra check point the BP Officer pulled me to the side and gave me a through check out also.
