So I got into an accident where the other driver slammed into the side of my car while I was stopped. I thought I was going to die as I saw a squeeling car trying to stop as it came right at me. Fortunately I was able to accelate just enough so he hit the rear door instead of the driver door. Anyway I wasn't hurt. I get out sort of disorientated to exchange insurance information.
We talk and I hand him my license and my insurance card. He does the same. But in a slightly scared voice he says that I didn't hand him my insurance card. I was so disorientated that I didn't notice I handed him my concealed handgun permit (to be fair to myself my permit looks exactly the same as my auto insurance card, same size, same color, etc..).
Well OOOPs my bad so I hand him my insurance card and I notice the guy staring at where my holster is slightly outlined through my shirt.
Cops came. They didn't care about my CCW (didn't mention it and my state no requirement to tell them). I could still drive the car but will be in the shop for awhile. I'm glad I had the CCW just in case the person who caused the accident was pissed off at me for some reason.
The moment after the initial shock of the crash I was comforted in knowing I had a CCW with me because I had no idea what was going to happen next and what sort of person just hit me.
I know it is bad... but I just enjoyed the look on his face when he saw my permit... you don't have kind thoughts against people who almost killed you with their negligence.
