I was stopped for going just a "little" over the speed limit about a year ago. I even got a "driving award" in the process.
After the trooper identified himself, I promptly told him that I had a gun in the console. The trooper asked if I had a CCW and if the weapon was legal (he hadn't run my name yet). I said "YEP, but these aren't my pants." We both laughed, he scratched out a paper while I felt stupid about getting caught, and we both "went home safely."
See? Simple!
If anyone doesn't get the "these aren't my pants," watch Live PD or Cops.
Maybe if we just all got along instead of being wadded up, our lives, country, and world would be better.
