Traffic stop

Allegedly it’s a story told by a Kansas State Highway Patrol officer. — John Ewing
“Recently 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, Kansas.
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 asked 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 right in the eye and said, “Not a fucking thing!”
