I wondered the same thing...Keith B wrote:Glad things worked out for you guys. Scary situation.
One quesiton, how did they know you had a CHL? Did you show it to them or did it come up when they ran your license?
Pretty sure (dont rely on my guestimation) that California would not know that he (the OP) possessed a CHL. I have the Utah Permit and Texas does not know unless I show the officer.
Why did the OP show his CHL in California. Pretty sure it would not have come up...and the OP did say it sparked an interest with the ADA. Maybe this is an educational moment for us all?
Not bagging on the OP...heck, I was the guy who got busted by the TSA in Tulsa for leaving a loaded mag in my LCP when I checked my baggage. Posted it here.
