Being pulled over by LEO
Never have been, and don't plan to be. Very curious as to the actual procedure if it happened. Now I'm sure the officer would come to the side door ( by passenger up front on our DP). So should I ...

I have been stopped in this MH... well actually I was stopped before he got back to me. I had gotten off of the Jake brake near the bottom of a long hill near home, but in NC and was doing 65 in a 55 when the trooper going the opposite direction turned around. There was a good place to pull over so I was sitting on the step with paperwork by the time he got to me.
I included my carry permit but had left the gun on the dash and told the officer that when I handed him my licence, insurance, registration, and carry. He asked why I had pulled over before he could blue light me and I said I was doing 10 over the speed limit and doubted he had turned around to go to lunch. I was told to sit there while he went and ran my clean licence. I do not know if the carry permit shows up when he gets my info, but I'd rather be the one to tell him I have one and where the gun is located. When he came back he asked where I was going (home), and where I had come from (PA...yesterday), and if I could keep it within the speed limit until I got home (Yes Sir), and that he was not going to ruin my vacation so I was free to go with just a verbal warning... unheard of in NC. I thanked him and made it the 40 miles home without speeding.
I am bad about getting off of the Jake near the bottom of a hill where I can see what's coming up and will often be 5-10 over the speed limit as I start up the next hill.
