Default First Encounter w/Leo while CCW'ing

I had my first encounter w/Leo on Wednesday, pulled over for speeding in Contra Costa Co.. I handed the rice paper to her with my license and her response was 'Why do you need a revolver?'. (I carry a Glock 23).
I of course gave a very shortened version of GC. THEN she ask where I was carrying.
I would have thought 'where' would have been the first question.
Oh well, it all ended well, I did not receive a ticket, and was very politely asked to keep my speed down.
Whew!

Why do YOU need a revolver?

Uh, if she read your rice paper, any fool knows that Glock don't make revolvers

But she did let yuo go on your way without a "court invite".

You don't need a revolver. You have a Glock.

"Why do you need a revolver?"

"I can't know why in advance. That's the whole point."

Everybody needs revolvers...not A revolver... but many revolvers...
Just got a Smith 625 Jerry M. as a table "gift" for tonights Friends of the NRA banquet... I could have gotten some S&W plastic fantastic mom and pop autothunker... but got a revolvin' 45 instead....everybody NEEDS at least one... like to carry in an ankle holster... or pocket... or maybe one of those Ruger lcr's on like a neck thingee...

I think the best answer would be, "Oh (long pause). You don't know why someone would need a revolver?"

I think the best answer would be, "Because sometimes I'm not happy to see someone." It works on so many different levels...
