State Police interaction yesterday while armed

Yesterday I was returning from Georgetown on 113 when a tractor trailer passed me on the left and kicked up a huge piece of plywood. The object went up about 20 ft in front of me so I tried to avoid it with no success. The wood hit the front of my car imp-ailing several large pieces in my bumper and headlight assembly. I pulled over I was fine. Now i needed to get a Trooper out to the scene for a report. I am ARMED and have a CCW. Now I know we don't have to notify BUT I think Police have a tuff job as it is and I felt  I Would inform the trooper when he got on scene. I was thinking what if I bend over and print or whatever. When the Trooper showed up I shock his had thanked him for coming and handed him my ID stating I was armed. His response "I appreciate you letting me know" he handed my CCW card back to me "No problem" he said. We then continued with the report he gave me all the information and incident report and I was on my way. I think that was the right thing to do and all worked out well.

Just Bill:
It's always a good idea if they don't have to second guess the situation.

oldgraygeek:
Well done.

A Wilmington cop explained it to me like this:
"If your gun is a surprise to me, I WILL blow your f***ing head off."

If I had to patrol the streets of Wilmington, I would likely have the same attitude.

Radnor:
1st, good to hear you re ok.

Would have done the same thing in notifying him (or her).

Police need to be aware that there are a larger number of people with CCDW permits  out there and that those are the good guys.
