I came upon a sobriety check point last Saturday night. The cop at my window asked me if I had been drinking and I said no. He then asked me for my DL and insurance papers. As I was pulling my DL out of my wallet, he spotted my CCW permit. after he checked my other paper work he asked if that is a CCW permit. I said yes. He gave me back my stuff and told me to have a good evening. He never asked if I was carrying at the time, which i was, and I didn't offer any other information. Then about the time I got ready to leave the stop, my police scanner came on. He then wanted to know how I got his frequency. I told him I got it on the internet, so I guess it's alright to have a scanner in you vehicle in Missouri.
Peace,

Keep your seat-belt on unless you ask to remove it first. In this state if you were just anticipating and getting ready,
you most probably would be making a contribution to the REVENUE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM, as in Ticket for No Seat-Belt.

It's cool when you come across a LEO that's easy going and not up tight during a traffic stop. A couple of years ago I was stuck in traffic on a highway east of Flagstaff AZ. This was just after AZ implemented a law about obscuring license plates.
The LEO pulled up next to me and, a few minutes later, pulled me over as I had a plastic cover over the rear license plate on my Mustang. During the traffic stop he and I got to talking about AZ's now former photo radar law. No ticket but he recommended that I remove the plastic cover from the license plate. During the ensuing conversation I mentioned to him that I had the perfect solution for getting around Photo Radar. He looked at me like I might be public enemy number one... and asked how I could do that. I answered simply... don't speed! I then watched this state police officer nearly double over in laughter. Made my day!

Some people have all the luck -- I was driving back from a 4-day trial in Baton Rouge about 18 months ago and looking forward to relaxing with a glass of wine when I got home -- I do tend to drive fast on the interstate -- so there I am driving a dark blue Cayman about 85 mph just west of Welsh -- go past an overpass and my radar detector gets blasted by "instant-on" -- La State Police unit hidden behind the overpass -- I smoke the brakes (and trooper only has to drive about 40 yards to come up behind me -- I think this helped me because he did not have to chase me any distance) -- I get out with license and insurance card, my pistol is in a holster between console and passenger seat (legal in Louisiana) -- trooper walks up with a huge smile on his face and sunglasses on (he had already run my plate before he got out of his vehicle -- SOP in LSP) (I have a LA Iraq Campaign Veteran plate) he asks for license, insurance card and registration (which is glove compartment) -- I hand him license/ins card and tell him registration is in glove box -- but I have a holstered pistol next to my console -- he thanks me for telling him -- tells me to go ahead and get my registration -- he is still smiling broadly -- I lean over pistol near console, open glove box, get registration, lean back out of car and hand him same. Still the huge broad smile -- He says:
"COL McLaughlin, do you know how fast you were going?" I tell him the truth (usually the best option) and answer "At least 85 mph" -- he smiles and says "Well, your speedometer is accurate" -- he then hands me back my license and ins card -- and then takes off his sunglasses --and I realize that out of the 42 troopers in Troop D (Lake Charles area), the trooper that has just stopped me -- I am representing his wife in their divorce. He says "When I ran your license tag, I couldn't believe my luck" -- I reply "I can't believe your luck either" -- he tells me to watch my speed and lets me go. We shake hands and he then tells me there is another trooper 2 miles down the road (a common LSP tactic) -- who won't have his sense of humor. Thankfully, his divorce was not acrimonious -- he was also prior military and he knew of my background -- I have found that good manners, straight answers and military bearing often helps in a LEO stop (they quickly figure out that you are "not the droids they are looking for"). I laugh about that encounter quite a bit and the trooper later made a duck hunt with us -- really good guy.

Good story COL. I got stopped locally about a year and a half ago pretty near my home by a Trooper that I did not know.
I was 10 over on a highway through a school zone.He was very professional and polite and so was I.
I was dead wrong,but my mind was wandering that day and I forgot the time of day. I never mentioned being former LE,my intent was to take the ticket,pay it,and forget about it.
My rear sliding glass in my truck is deeply tinted so I slid it open immediately upon stopping so he could see inside.
Had license and insurance ready,just like yourself. He told me why I was stopped and walked back to his car.When he got out,I looked through the rearview and saw him grinning like the cat that ate the canary.
He gave me a warning citation and told me to have a nice day. I know some dispatcher must have told him that the person he had was old StuDaddy,as the dispatchers used to call me. I'm grateful for that. As in your own case,a really nice guy. I've bumped into him(not literally
) a couple of times since then and exchanged pleasantries.

I haven't had a bad stop since I got my CCW.
A couple of weeks ago I had a fender bender at which I was not at fault. When the office arrived I had my permit in hand and held it out to him as soon as he got out of the cruiser and stated "I have a weapon". He didn't even look twice, just said "you're good".
In Ohio we're required to inform the police of our CCW and if we're carrying or not.

I have a CC permit for Tennessee but I don't carry concealed. It's in a "police-type" holster. and I haven't had any problems at 7-11's or "Gas-N-Go's" in several states. I have an old .44 Spl that gets carried in a cross-over holster. THAT holster has 2 slits in the barrel area to ride higher ( like a shoulder holster ) but gets a belt instead.
