I've had two encounters with law enforcement since getting my CHL.

The first was on a return trip from a Lake Whitney striper fishing trip. I was going 60 in a 45 mph zone (I honestly didn't know what the speed limit was and 60 mph seemed reasonable for the road). A DPS trooper was waiting for me as a crested a hill. He pulled me over, I presented my CHL and DL and he asked me where it was. I told him I was wearing it in a concealed holster on my right hip and he simply told me to leave it where it was. We talked a bit about fishing (he asked where I was coming from) and he let me off with a warning. I couldn't have asked for a better traffic stop.

The second was with the Lewisville PD. I had accidently set the alarm off at our church building so I waited for the police to come so that I could explain what happened and save them the trouble of checking the doors. When the officer showed up I already had my CHL and DL in hand. I explained to him what happened as I presented both to him. He didn't seem concerned at all and didn't even mention the CHL or a gun. He just jotted down some notes on his little note pad and thanked me for waiting on him.

I hope they all go that well.
