All is well though. He was respectful to me so I have no beef with how he conducted himself.
I've been very lucky, in the 12 years I've had my CHL I have been stopped three times. I was issued warnings all three times...and no officer did anything more than give a cursory look at my CHL and hand it right back.
Conversely, some people have been disarmed, experienced a noticeable change in the officers attitude, and even been chastised. But this seems to be a rarer occurrence than in the past.
Of course, at NO time is a CHL to be considered a "get out of jail free card"....and I know you share the same belief. Most LEO will have nothing to say about the CHL, others will be very supportive, some will not like it much, others will have some snappy saying they like to use. I think you got the latter.
We appreciate you sharing the experience with us (good or bad) because it serves as a barometer of sorts to those of us keeping track. Officer response will vary person to person, dept to dept, and region to region, but most are supportive.
Thanks again,
Flint.
