Came upon a DUI checkpoint while driving my older model Bonneville with the split bench from seat. I mention the slit bench seat because I woukd wedge my .357 into the split because it was reasonably secure and easy to access with my right hand.

Rolled up the the first cop who asked me if I had anything in the car they should know about. I told him no drugs or alcohol but I did have a .357 sitting next to me.

He paused and said, "Ok, but don't make any sudden movements for your gun."

I said, "Same to you," and we stared at each other for bit before he waved me through.
