Stopped in South Dakota.

Last week I was pulled over on I-90 around 23:00 for an "improper turn" as I merged onto the interstate from a gas stop. Gave papers, did not inform that I was armed. 10 minutes later I was let go with a warning.

Nothing happened. No one died. There was no blood in the streets. Life went on.

Just think what would have happened if you had showed your permit first to "prove that you're a good guy", "show respect to the officer", "to put the officer at ease" and "because the officer knows anyway before he comes up to you"....maybe he would have invited you back to his cruiser to share a doughnut with you! :lol:
