I totally agree with you and have encountered numerous interactions with LE for being cursed with a heavy foot.

When I know I have been caught speeding, I immediately pull over, drop all the windows down, turn on the dome light (if dark) and have both hands outside the window with my drivers license, registration, insurance AND my concealed carry license in my hands. I know in most jurisdictions, the CC is not necessary to show, but this alerts them that I am packing heat.

Personally, I can’t believe the bravery and risk our LE takes to routinely walk up to a vehicle as part of their job. If I can make their lives a little easier, then so be it.

Yes, my actions sounds extreme but the LE knows immediately that you are complying and the tension in the air immediately dissipates. 9 times out of 10 they will let me off with a warning and in most cases, we talk guns for 15 - 20 minutes afterwards. My wife rolls her eyes but, she gets it.

I’ve come to the point of believing that legally carrying, having a permit, and being super polite with LEOs will do any reasonably smart person more good in avoiding traffic tickets than most other things. The whole idea is to charm, not intimidate.
