Well, there was only one time when I ever did more than just hand the CHL back without saying anything. The very first time I stopped someone who had one, I talked with him about it and told him that I had not seen one being carried before. Other than that, if someone handed me a CHL, I was always the "thanks, I don't need that" kind of officer. A note requesting discretion would not bother me and I would comply, but I can't say every officer is the same way.

Some officers would make a big deal of the CHL if they saw a note, just because they would think you were asking for special treatment and they don't like that. Some would make a big deal because they honestly do not like people carrying guns. And some would make a big deal, just because they are jerks.

I think, just as a seat of the pants guess, that about 75% of the officers would try to be discrete about it if you gave them the note with the licenses just asking for discretion. But I tend to think highly of most officers even as I know some do not deserve it.
