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!"
