But he didn't cut me any slack on the speeding either.
Of course the sticker on the gas tank that read:
'Proud and Packing a Pistol!' :thank_you2:
had absolutely nothing to do with this incident?
Or are we off that thread now?

So?
I fail to see a problem. FYI: Quotas are illegal, they can write as many tickets as they want to. :biggrin:
BTW: I'm a LEO, but I don't work the road and I don't write tickets. I do however write reports.

Overall, a positive experience. If indeed, everyone was going over the posted speed limit, he probably chose to pull you over because, being on a motorcycle, you seemed like easy pickings.
So stop speeding. Doesn't matter if everyone else is speeding or not. To him that knowth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is a crime...Ok,I have just had my first police encounter while carrying,and the first on a motorcycle.Now,alot of you guys,and even some people I knoe at work have said that after the officer saw your CHL he let you go with a warning.Apparently I am immune to this particular magic.I was riding to work,driving,I thought,with the flow of traffic.There were even,I think,some cars going faster than I was.I hear a siren behind me,looked in the mirror and see flashing lights.I somehow knew he was after me so I got completely off the freeway onto the feeder and pulled over.So,I'm sitting there,and the officer comes up to me and asks to see my license.I hadn't even got it out before he said "I'm gonna cite you for 70 in a 55." I got out my driver license and my CHL and insurance card and handed them to him.He didn't react all crazy when he saw my CHL,in fact,he didn't react at all,except to askl where my weapon was.I patted my side and told him "Right here." He just said to leave it there.So he goes to his car and runs my info,then comes back and writes me a ticket.Then he reminds me that the speed limit there is 55 MPH,tells me when I have to call the court,and tells me I am free to go.Now,I will say,and I am thankful,that he didn't go crazy when he found out I was armed.But he didn't cut me any slack on the speeding either.But it IS the end of the month.

I am glad the officer showed virtually no concern about your chl. As the states started to issue the permits there was a concern in the mind of the older law enforcement officers that wanted citizens to be licensed that the young officers would cause a problem by over reacting.
Be careful and I am happy everthing worked out as well as it could.
