True story from a Kansas State Highway Patrol officer:
I made a traffic stop on an elderly lady the other day for speeding on
U.S. 166 Eastbound at Mile Marker 73 just East of Sedan, KS. I asked
for her driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance. The
lady took out the required information and handed it to me. In with the
cards I was somewhat surprised (due to her advanced age) to see she had
a conceal carry permit. I looked at her and ask if she had a weapon in
her possession at this time.
She responded that she indeed had a .45 automatic in her glove box.
Something---body language, or the way she said it---made me want to ask
if she had any other firearms. She did admit to also having a 9mm Glock
in her center console. Now I had to ask one more time if that was all.
She responded once again that she did have just one more, a .38 special
in her purse. I then asked her what was she so afraid of.
She looked me straight in the eye and said,
"Not a damn thing!"
