I pulled over turned my interior light on and rolled down my window placing my left arm on the sill and my right hand at 12 on the wheel. The officer approached the car, introduced himself, and told me that he clocked me at 55 in a 35
. I immediately apologized and explained that I don't travel in that area very often and must have missed the sign for the lower speed limit. He asked me for my DL and insurance, and as soon as I handed him my CHL and DL he calmly asked if I had a pistol with me. I let him know that I had two and he said nothing. I explained that I would have to get my insurance from my glove box but there was not a pistol in there and he said fine. He asked me all of the normal questions about where I was coming from and heading to, and if I still lived at my DL address. I handed him my insurance card (which has a copy of DL and CHL on the same sheet) and he told me sit tight and that he would be right back. It seemed like things were taking a while longer than the normal check takes so I was certain that he was writing a ticket...so much for the CHL helping me out of a ticket I thought (not that I ever really expected that). When the officer finally approached the car he handed everything back to me, told me to "watch your speed a little, be careful and have a good morning" after which I thanked him and continued on my way.
The officer was very polite and friendly and it was as pleasant of an experience as I have ever had being pulled over... especially at that time of day.
I have to assume after this experience that Murphy is CHL friendly.
