If a LEO asks if there are any weapons in the car, are seriously going to start reaching into your pockets for your wallet and CHL? I would recommend telling the LEO before you go reaching for things. Given the LEO has asked that, they are already concerned for whatever reason.stevie_d_64 wrote:My personal opinion is that I do not like to say anything verbally, unless asked, I just smile and hand them my CHL, and let them figure it out...
I'm not being disrespectful, I'm just not wanting to make a big deal out of it...The less I say about the fact, the better...And usually it never becomes an issue...
As far as disarming a CHL, I have five digits on my hand...And I can only count 2-3 times on that hand where I have heard a story about a Texas LEO (from any jurisdiction) doing this...An extremely rare occurance, at least being posted in any forum I have participated in...
Granted, there have been very few reports of being disarmed as a CHL. Regardless, I was advising of what "could" happen, no matter how remote.
