Positive "Non-encounter"
Wednesday morning, ten am, I'm sitting in my truck on break at ACME (my p/t gig) when I see a Springfield (Montco) PD SUV cruise by. I don't think anything of it, as they are always driving through our lot. I look down at my CB to see what channel I'm on and I sense someone next to my window. I look up, and there stands the officer who just drove by. Hmmmm, what's this about? Put down my window and offer a "How's it going? Can I help you?". He then proceeds to ask where I got my cab-mounted running lights installed, how it was done and approximate cost. Interesting.
We chatted about our respective trucks for a few minutes, then I laid it on him.
"So, what is your department-issued sidearm?"
He looks, not shocked, but kind of like a kid that was just asked about his favorite Christmas present. We go on talking guns for about 15 minutes (our mutual fondness for AR's, discussing my previous non-encounter, how he handles different "stop scenarios", the whole officer safety thing) then tells me 90% of their force is pro-gun and have ZERO problem with people carrying legally.
Overall we talked close to a half-hour, which doubled my breaktime. Ooops. Well, I WAS being questioned by the police..............."bukakee ≠ waterboarding" ~tlgpa

Re: Positive "Non-encounter"
Some day, I swear, I will violate some serious traffic rules just to get first hand experience myself. These cops around here just never pull me over for speeding on a motor scooter. Oh well, I'll put an NRA sticker on it tomorrow, maybe that will get their attention.
JanSo long and thanks for all the fish.

IDIOT!!!!!! You should have told him you know your rights and don't have to answer any of his questions!!!!!!!!!
Thats pretty cool, LEO's are people too, even though some are Nazi-like.
Got stopped 1 time while trucking, to check out my paperwork, and we talked about almost everything for over a 1/2 hour. PSP officer, who told me he was assigned DOT duty, even thought he hated it, and didn't hate truckers, like so many seem to.
