holy crap, a nice state patrolman!

so heading to my mothers house in yakima I pass a patrolman parked below an underpass, as I go by he pulls out, thinking at this time "shit, what did I do, check speed...74mph" hmmm, ok well he's coming up fast so maybe he got a call....no joy, lights are now on... pull over and get out the license and insurance and place hands on steering after the window comes down...

how ya doing he asks as he approaches the window, what did I do I replied, he chuckled, nothing I just wanted to let you know your missing your front license plate. WTF I replied, I just got tabs and they made me buy a that set of plates!! ggrrrrr my luck sucks!

he walked to the front and then back and let me know the grommets were missing completely - oh great, now I gotta buy grommets and they will prolly cost more than the replacement plates.

he checked my paperwork, then noticed the speedloader sitting in the cupholder

are you armed he asked - no I replied however I do have a concealed permit and bullets - to which he got a kick out of that response and asked why I had bullets, permit and not a weapon also, I let him know that my company doesnt allow weapons on thier property and I wasnt gonna leave it in my car so it was absent.

he asked what I usually carried, I told him, then we spent 10 minutes bs'n about firearms, ammo, and shooting in general.

all in all, the most fun I have had getting stopped by a lawman

They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

great story. in my experience, 95% of cops are pretty cool when you treat them with respect, aren't breaking any serious laws, and haven't got any warrants or a suspended license. that being said, i can tell you from experience that if a cop is called to remove you from a bar for being drunk and disruptive, and you turn around and put your hands behind your back, you will get cuffed and taken in. but even though i was wearing a shirt that had pot leaves all over it, the cop was cool, even offering to take any contraband from me before we got to the station. when i got there, they joked that i must be a buckeye fan(we were in columbus oh, the pot leaves looked like buckeye leaves).
