Pulled for speeding in Fauquier county a few months ago.
Gun in glove box.
Registration in glove box.
This problem has been corrected by putting paperwork in a separate place from gun.
Told deputy "I have a gun in the glove box with my registration."
He asked "Is that going to be a problem.?'"
I said "For a traffic stop? I just want to drop it on the floor."
Him:" Sounds fine."
Clinkas gun hits th efloor.
"Do you have a CHP?"
"Had one, but expired."
He pints at his eyes. "Concealed."
Me: "We changed the law a few years back.
Secured in a closed container."
We went back and forth calmly a few times.
He goes back to write up ticket.
I am reasonably sure he must have called in.
He comes back, charged me with disobeying a highway sign,
cutting the fine in half from speeding 10 over.
Not another word about the gun.
Two actual adults.
No one was shot, nothing happened.
I think he called into the station, and reducing the ticket was
his way of thanking me for keeping him from looking foolish.
I now have a copy of the applicable code section in with the
registration in both vehicles.
