We've been having some problems with a neighbors dog and as a result 2 LEOs came to visit to discuss the matter with me on my behalf. After the usual 'cop knock' on the door. (must be something they teach at the academy) I met the officers outside and we discussed barking dogs and such for a few minutes until they had to take another call.

When I came back in my wife said she looked out the window to observe and said one of the LEOs never took his hand off of the area where his holster was. This was in despite of the fact that I was wearing only rugby shorts, a t-shirt and was barefoot and not the 'perp' in this (or any case).

I don't think there would have been anyway for me to be 'carrying' and I'm a 50 yr old man and incapable of tangling with 2 cops or even 1 for that matter.

So my questions are -
1. Do LEOs typically know that you're a CHL holder when they come to visit in Texas?
2. Should have I identified myself as a CHL when they came to the door and I was still inside? Armed, I'd say yes. Unarmed ?
3. Should I have identified as a CHL when I stepped outside? Armed I'd say yes, and I would have preferred to disarmed before going out to talk. Unarmed ?

How would you handle ? Thanks in advance.
