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 right in the eye and said, "Not a ****ing thing!"
