Slightly embarrassing stop

Most CHL/LEO contacts are positive, how about yours? Bloopers are fun, but no names please, if it will cause a LEO problems!

Slightly embarrassing stop

Post by Armybrat »

A couple of years ago I was hurrying back home after picking up my brother & SIL from the Austin airport. Had just dropped them off at their house in Balcones Village after midnight, and was going about 10mph "over" on Lake Creek Parkway to 620 on the way back to my Brushy Creek neighborhood.

Two APD cruisers pulled me over in the gas station (now closed) on 620. The LEO who approached my car was very courteous and asked the usual questions (I admitted I was probably going too fast, but explained why the hurry - it was waaay past my bedtime after the late nigt airport run), while I kept my hands in plain sight with both IDs.

While examining the cards, he asked me if I was armed... to which I said yes, but that weapon was in the car console. He did not ask to see it, but did inquire as to what kind it was. When I told him "A Keltec .32", he just kind of looked at me...and I swear his eyes teared up a bit & his lips were quivering like he was gonna bust out laughing. I felt about as small as a .22 short. :cry:

He just gave me a verbal warning & sent me on my way.

Not long after that, I bought a Kahr PM9. :cool:

Don't be embarrassed, they would not find it near as amusing if they were facing the muzzle end of said gun as a .32 caliber projectile pierced their cardiac tissue causing a state of sudden onset hypovolemic shock eventually resulting in a loss of consciousness and the cessation of a spontaneous pulse sometime thereafter.

But that's just my .02 worth. A .22 short could do the same also.

The LEO was about to laugh at you?!?! That's hilarious.

When my pastor found out that I had been carrying a .380, his reply was, "Whatcha plannin' on shootin'? Mice?" (I wanted to slug him, but he's bigger than me.) :razz:

The NRA & TSRA are a bargain; they're much cheaper than the cold, dead hands experience.

Yup,

While I wouldn't want to be shot with ANYTHING, I think it was a smart move on her part to get a "big girls" gun. So, I agree...we are proud of her.

Oh, I have a Springfield Armory GI .45, a S&W Model 29 (8 3/8"), a Ruger SP101 .357, several .380's, several .38's, a NA .32, & a couple NA .22's....So my choice of available carry weapons isn't limited.

The Kahr PM9 & Keltec .32 are my favored concealed guns.

Being a fat dude isn't conducive to carrying any type of large handgun, so the little bitty ones are more to my liking.
