On my way from Austin to Arlington to meet up with an old Air Force buddy and to go to the Rangers game. Was going through Lorena talking to my passenger not paying attention and got tagged at 81 in a 70.
Lorena officer was polite and efficient. Asked for license and insurance to which I informed him that my insurance was in the glove box with a firearm. He stated that if the only thing I touched was the insurance we wouldn't have a problem. Grabbed the insurance and 5 minutes later I was on my way and soon to be a little lighter in the wallet.

Lorena is a friendly little town but they do like to patrol I-35.

Re: Pulled over for the first time w/ CHL
Very nice. Is it safe to assume that you showed the CHL first and that put him a little more at ease to allow you to go into a compartment containing a firearm to retrieve your insurance? Other than the ticket it sounds like a great stop.
