Sorry y''all, my computer crashed and I couldn't respond. I was armed but he didn't ask me and I wasn't driving. It was Santa Fe, Tx. I knew she wasn't legally required to hand him her CHL but figured it couldn't hurt. If there's a remote chance that it would get me out of a ticket I'll hand it over. That's why I told her to give it to him. Plus, I'm grateful for our LEO's. Yes, there are some that shouldn't be in the position. Thankfully my encounters have been good. They will find out anyway so If it puts them at ease to have it upfront then that's fine with me.

My mother and I drove to my sisters house in Santa Fe, this morning for Christmas Eve breakfast. My mother was driving. We both have our CHL's but neither of us was armed. Next thing we know a Santa Fe police officer pulled us over. My mother was driving 58 in a 45 -construction zone. My mother was nervous. Her purse was in the back of her car covered with Christmas presents. She almost got out of the car before the LEO approached her. I told her to wait with her hands on the wheel. I also told her to make sure she gave him her CHL license along with her drivers license. He approached and asked for her license. She gave him both. He asked if she had "it" with her and she said no. He said ok and went back to his car. A minute later he came back and warned her to be careful and to have a Merry Christmas. All in all it was a great LEO encounter. He was very respectful. I don't know if her CHL had anything to do with her not getting a ticket or if it was because it was Christmas Eve. I'm just glad she didn't get a ticket!
