My first was slightly amusing. It was only my second time ever leaving the house with my concealed weapon. I didn't even have a holster yet so for safety I had it in the glove box, unloaded. The plan was to go to the DMV to renew my plates (they were 14 days expired) and then go to the store and get a cheapo holster until my good one came in the mail.
So, OF COURSE, on my way to the DMV I get pulled over. He asked for my stuff and I handed him my insurance and registration and I told him that I actually on my way to renew my plates at that moment. He stood there a second and I said, "oh yeah, you need my license." As I reached for my purse I remembered. Oh crap. So I put my hands on the steering wheel and said, "I almost forgot to tell you that I have a legally concealed firearm in the vehicle." He said, "Ok, I'll just need to see your permit and your registration." As I pulled it out he said, "It's a good thing you remembered or I would be required to confiscate it." I said, "Yeah, it's not even loaded and this is my first time ever being pulled over with it in the car so I almost forgot."
He went back to his car with all my stuff, and wasn't even gone 2 minutes when I saw him coming back in the rear view mirror. He didn't have a ticket or even a warning in his hand, just all of my papers to give back to me. He handed me everything back and said, "If you don't mind me asking, why don't you have it loaded?" He just sounded curious, not like he was asking as an officer but he just wanted to know. I explained to him that I didn't have a holster for it yet and I just wanted to be safe and he said, "Oh...that's smart. Well ma'am you have nice rest of your afternoon." I told him thanks and started rolling up my window.
He stopped and turned back towards my window and said, "Oh wait, ma'am! Don't forget to go get your plates up to date!"
It just cracked me up...he was so interested in why I didn't have my gun loaded he almost forgot why he pulled me over!
