I was detained briefly by a DPS officer for walking on a bridge with my car parked nearby (don't ask why ). He asked me to get into his pickup, which I did, with driver's license & CCW permit in hand. When he found out that I was armed, he asked me to get out of the vehicle & relieved me of the Kel-Tec in my pants pocket. He tossed it on the seat of his vehicle & asked to see my vehicle registration & insurance. Aftr a recitation of the risks of walking on a bridge, he wrote me a warning, unloaded my pistol, put the mag & spare bullet in a baggie, and returned pistol & baggie to my pants, on the weak side .
It was all very civil; as we parted, I complimented him on his thoroughness and compassion. For the first time in our brief encounter, he smiles...slightly.
I don't have a traffic stop story yet....Yikes...did I say "yet"? Sheez. The first thing that popped into ny head about the baggies on a couple of posts was...I bet they are doing this for time, By the time you got reloaded, they were away from the scene.
