So, I was pulled over yesterday while driving to riley's. on the road with the school and church after coming over the bridge, I passed a Hooksett cruiser doing 45ish. I saw him turn around, but traffic kept him from catching up to me until I was ready to turn into riley's.
Cop(s) pull in behind me, blocking me in. Driver walks up to my window, taking a protective stance. I already had my registration out, wallet was in my back pocket. Officer tells me right away that they clocked me doing 45 in a 35. I told him I just put larger tires on the jeep, and that I knew I needed to recalibrate the speedo (true)...
he asks for license and reg, I hand him the reg but tell him "I feel inclined to tell you I do have a pistol on my hip. I'm properly permitted, and my license and PP are in my rear pocket." Officer says okay, asks me to clarify where the pistol is, I tell him my right hip and I'll have to move past it to get my wallet, the cop says okay, I get out my wallet and hand him my license and PP, he goes back to the cruiser.
5 minutes later he comes back, says "I'm going to cut you a break today". Hands me back my paperwork, and tells me to have a nice day.
overall, very friendly, courteous, and no perceived negative reactions to an armed citizen. Kudos to the hooksett PD.
