... am glad that my first experience was a very positive one...
You are brave out riding a motorcycle at 2:00 am. Don't you know nothing good happens after midnight. I suspect that you were very cooperative and probably weren't drunk went a long way toward the good encounter. Surprising how many people would object to any check point and tell the officer about it. Also I suspect that they were looking for drunks at that time of the morning. Did they have any pulled over? :wacko:
After all that how was the show? :biggrin:
papers please
The time: 0200 July 5, Hwy17 North to New Bern, NC from Jacksonville, NC
My wife and I, with another couple rode our motorcycles to Myrtle Beach, SC to see the Carolina Opry. We departed Havelock, NC at 2:30 pm and headed West on HWY 70, we met the other couple and headed south on hwy 17. I was carrying my PT145 in a Crossbreed Supertuck. We ate and went to see the 8 pm show. The show lasted until, 1030 PM. After stopping for gas, we headed north on hwy 17. Traffic was light after we left South Carolina. After leaving Jacksonville, NC on Hwy 17, we rode through Maysville and Pollocksville. After Pollocksville, the road is two lanes until just before you get to New Bern, where the road opens to four lanes. About a half a mile before the four lanes, as we rounded a corner, I saw the blue lights of a law enforcement vehicle. I slowed down, and it was then that I realized that there was a check point ahead.
After I stopped, the state trooper asked for my drivers license. I pulled both my license and my CCW permit and handed them to the State Trooper. He saw my CCW permit and before I could tell him that I was armed, he asked me if I was armed. I responded, Yes Sir. He handed me back my license and permit and said thank you.
I have to admit, I was nervous. But am glad that my first experience was a very positive one.
Ride safe.
Regards,

Or lucky. Does your CCW permit allow you to drive while carrying?

You know I really get tired of that "papers Please" BS. When you have as many friends and realatives as I have that they have been hurt, maimed or killed but drunken drivers I don't really care what they do to get them off the road. A drunk driver ran into the back of me one night. He would have been fine if he had kept his mouth shut but no, he had to go and mouth off at me and the cops until they finally got tired of it and charged him with DUI.
A friend of mine was playing with her 2 year old son in he front yard one Sunday afternoon when a drunk came plowing through their yard killing the two year old and injuring her to the point that she can't shoot a gun to defend herself now. My 17 year old cousin decided it would be fun to ride his motorcycle on Christmas Eve night with no lights on. it was a sad Christmas day. Screw that "Papers Please" BS and spare me the It's My Right to Drive Drunk drivel.
Hey FN1910
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't it illegal to have a weapon in your vehicle on school property???
