56 in a 40-why me

sounds like we both got stuck with some real punks for cops Blanca.

if you get a 75$ attorney, tell him I'll pay for his plane ticket to cleveland, I cant find one here for under 250 -300.

Colton attys know attys all over I am gonna PM you my guys info.
Have zero idea what he or they may be able to do for you but you never know maybe he has a brother up there ?
 
Well I wrote the sample letter and asked ole mommer he op .

Geesh :banghead: , you think I got a lecture form the LEO !

I'm irresonsible, a looney, middle of day riding motorcycle carrying a gun !
OMG !
Panic in detroit !
Godzilla and all that...

So I forget how folks turn liberal in their old age around here and the SoFla bug has got her to !

To set things straight:

1,766,068 Concealed carry licenses are currently legal in the state of Florida.
There are approx 18,000,000 people in Florida.
This calculates into a 9.5% number of people who I guess are loons like me.

So basically ten percent or every 1 out of 10 people you drive by, ride by , walk by or pass in Walmart as I just did is licensed to carry and or is !

1 in 10

In Walmart look around and see 30 people, 3 out of them could be.

It is not that low of a number as to make it seem like we are a minority of 'loonies' as mom referred to me.

And of those almost 2 million only 167 were people who used them lawfully in self defense. An incalculable percentage really .

We as Gun owners and carriers have proved ourselves here.
I have carried every day for almost 22 yrs without incident, thank God.
But we are still seen as nutz ?


end of story she did not think it a good idea to send Capt letter...:laugh:
 
D'oh! So Saiid, did you happen to have any tanks of propane on your bike at the time? :whistle: Or were you fidgitting with your underwear? Shoe? :laugh:

VB I'm stiffed miffed but oh well.

I tried to walk toward his car to ask him if I could unzip jacket and he about blasted my ears off with loudspeaker
"Stay next to motorcycle !"

Just youthful exuberance enjoying doing his job.
Maybe he'll temper in a few yrs if he doesnt wind up shooting somebody cuz they sneezed !
 
Well...in his defense, officers don't like you to come to them, it's a safety thing. But that's the only exception that I see in this scenario.

But +1 on the youthful exuberance. The young whippersnappers can be real jerks straight out of the academy.
 
Well I like the attitude you have. You admit ya did it and move on.

But seriously. He wrote you for 16 over? Didn't drop it to 15 to drop the fine?

Yeah you were wrong, but not to drop that 1mph to give you a break on the cost....I'm just say'n.
 
I think everybodys days here are numbered, we ride Busas,
they don't like slow :laugh:

VB I only wanted to get close enough to ask him if I could unzip so as to make him at ease I was not making a move toward my weapon and it was smokin hot sittin still ! I was drippin in no time. Only wanted to get close enough so he could hear me ask and in no way wanted to come around door or make him feel any more nervous than he already was.
He just blasted me with megaphone from 2 feet instead of asking me himself.

Yes I agree he could have but then again I guess I have to take his word I was going 56 , 16 over so he had right to write me for it ?
It would have cut fine almost in 1/2 if he had done it though....:banghead:
young whippersnapper he was........:cry:
 
Blanca, where do you carry when you are on your bike? I am getting my CCW real soon and have been wondering about where to carry when I'm riding. Im assuming not a waste band holster of some sort.

Most of the time its a right handed Snap close Don Hume Belt holster as you see here.
Sometimes same holster only left handed.
I dont think or plan on ever shooting while moving so I carry same place as I do no matter what I'm wearing or driving.

I'm lucky , I'm skinny and can still conceal a double stack full size 1911 under a T shirt and bathing suit if I wanna.

Model H721-Double Nine

This is an excellent holster and you cannot beat the price.
Like 50-60 bucks for as good if not better quality than a Galco or Bianchi holster that cost double.
It has a nice forward cant to it for a nice grip and draw.
Holds gun in toward body so butt doesnt stick out also.

Very quick and secure...its been....well lets say pretty fast and has not come unsnapped.
:laugh:

If you can wait and order it direct from them and get it hand boned for an extra few bucks its worth it as the fit is truly like a glove and from first time it goes in it comes right out, no break in needed.

I have like a dozen of the exact same holster in right and left hand for all my guns, Ber92s, Sigs, Glocks, Paras and others.
I am completely ambidextrous with guns, pistols and rifles.
I can draw and shoot just as fast and accurate with both hands.
I shoot LDR (Long Dist Rifle) better left handed cuz its my dominant eye though.
Since I found this line I have bought nothing else.
They have an open slot model where the front is more open for quicker draw but it allows gun to get dirtier.
They have same model without snap but not for me, no what I like.
And they have a simple double-nine model that is a slot holster again with zero retention.
Not for me.

I like a strong full enclosed snapped holster made from really good smellin leather !

For approx 5-7 mins while he talked and I fished out registration for bike from under seat , yes he had his hand on pistol entire time he was in front of me .

Am I not understanding to that ?
No .
Just a little miffed cuz I gave him no Rhyme or reason to be so vigilant .

It made me feel for sure a mistake could have been made on his part if I had sneezed.




You didn't tell him it would be a lot easier an less problematic to run than than pull over chat with you an then try an cap you :poke: :laugh:

I have had this same issue when I dealt with a Scottsdale police officer. As he approached me I had my helmet off and my hands on my windscreen. I did this so he could see my hands at all times and I could tell him that I did have my gun on me. When he told me to get my license, registration, and my proof of insurance out I got off the bike to get it out. He got all pissy and immedately put his hand on his gun and asked me why I got off the bike. Simply told him I had to to get my paperwork out. He took my paperwork and went back to his car to run my info. By that time another officer showed up and I was talking to him about it. He told me that the other officer was young. I told him that was ok, but he needed to treat people with a little more respect. I didn't try to hide my gun or run from him. I ended up not getting a ticket.
