2. Roll down windows (both sides), turn on dome light, both hands on top of steering wheel, hands empty.
3. Allow officer time to say hello. They will likely say something similar to "My name is officer Smith, do you know why I stopped you today?"
4. To which your reply should be.... "Officer Smith, I need to let you know that I have a carry permit and I am carrying a weapon today, let me know how you would like to proceed".
Then follow directions.
It really is that easy... In my limited experience.and in your limited experience with this encounter, how did said officer react?
I've had two traffic stops since my CHL. Both times proceeded just as described above. Both times received a "Thank You" from the officer.
One was a ticket, 78 in 65 on 35 in Lewisville, other time was a warning for no signal on turn.
Was not disarmed either time.
