True story from a
Kansas State Highway Patrol officer:
I made a traffic stop on an elderly lady the other day for speeding on U.S. 166 Eastbound at Mile Marker 73 just East of Sedan, KS.
I asked for her driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance.
The lady took out the required information and handed it to me.
In with the cards I was somewhat surprised
(due to her advanced age)
to see she had a conceal weapon carry permit.
I looked at her and ask if
she had a weapon in her possession at this time.
She responded that she indeed had a .45 automatic in her glove box.
Something---body language, or the way she said it---
made me want to ask if she had any other firearms.
She did admit to also having
a 9mm Glock in her center console.
Now I had to ask one more
time if that was all.
She responded once again that she did have
just one more, a .38 special in her purse.
I then asked her what was she so afraid of.
She looked me right in the eye and said:
"Not a damn thing!"
