Wow. This was exactly my concern when I started this post. We all try so hard to abide by the law and do the right thing. Really unfortunate that fellow 'packers' are having this kind of trouble.
I guess since there is no 'public' way to view your dps records you have no real way of knowing what the trooper sees when they pull you over.
Maybe its a good suggestion for their website (dps chl site) to also disclose that since you are now active, that LEO's will see this when they have to look you up. Might help prevent some of these issues in the future. Then again, if its already ok to have a gun in your car, really, what is the need?
Round and round we go....

Prior to Having License in Hand....
Ok, so i just got the "App Completed - license issued or certificate active" label listed on the DPS site for my CHL. Does this mean that If I get stopped for a traffic violation or asked by any other officer to show identification that I need to fully disclose that I have a CHL? I dont have the plastic yet, but the site does say "license issued/cert active". Does this mean that dispatchers will alert the officer that I am CHL even before I have my plastic? Should I disclose that info prior to receiving the license? It probably isnt a big deal because the license should be here in days (hopefully), but does it raise a significant concern? Anyone ever come across this?
