Hit a coyote tonight after picking some dq on 52. I only live a coupe miles north so i went ahead home after i stopped and checked my car out and called bcsd for a report. I was walking my dog around the yard so he would go to the bathroom when i saw the officer turn off 52. My wife and I rent on 3 acres several miles north of thorntown so its dark except for the driveway light. i knew i wouldn't be able to get the dog inside before the officer pulled in so i walked up under the light so i was clearly visible and informed him i was putting the dog was inside. As i was grabbing my insurance and registration my jacket rode up and he kindly asked what i was carrying and proceeded to compliment me on my choice of the M&P. Very courteous and super polite and never once got tazed, handcuffed, beaten, and thrown in the squad car for carrying! Another special thanks to the officer and the department for training these guys so well!
