[Gamecock]

I was driving through rural SC late one night and was pulled over by a young deputy for speeding. (Guilty) I turned the car off and cabin lights on, placed my hands in the 10-2 position, windows down. When he approached the car he asked if I was carrying.

I am guessing the dispatcher told him I had a CC permit. I told him I had a weapon secured in a locked box under my seat.

I'll finish that story in a minute, fast forward to three weeks ago, Mrs Gamecock is talking to her lesbian, tree hugging Hillary supporting sister, and the sister is delivering a lecture on police brutality towards the black man in the US. My wife caught an earful about cops approaching black men with their hands on their pistols and how racist that is. My wife tried to explain that is for the cops safety, but her sister just kept berating her.

Finally my wife shared the above story, about how we were pulled over by a BLACK deputy, who approached our car with his hand ON HIS PISTOL, and how we did the above things early in the stop. How I was polite. How the deputy asked to see my DL and CCP, then said, no, wait, I don't need your permit, which under law since the weapon was not on me person he didn't, but I gave it to him anyway.

How he gave me a ticket, which I deserved, and remained polite. How we cracked a couple of jokes and and the end of the encounter I told him to be safe. The we both went about our business.

The sister in law then shut up about it all.

A few years ago we were driving home from Florida on I-95.In VA a state cop pulled us over (my sister was driving).As the cop was approaching I advised my young nephew (a big,stocky,healthy looking kid) that he and I should keep calm and keep our mouths shut unless we're spoken to.The (black,as it turns out) cop got to the window,asked my sister the usual stuff...handed her the ticket and we were off.All three of us were polite and cooperative (no sudden moves) and the cop,too,was polite and professional.

Bottom line...nobody was hurt and the Commonwealth of Virginia was about $200 up on the deal.

Funny..."progressives" usually have to be *mugged* before they stop slamming the police!

I think a lot, if not 90%, of the NEW minority (white guys) could tell roughly the same story.
