Your plate is not tied to show your CHL, only your drivers license. If an officer runs your tag, then runs the name that comes back to the tag, they may assume you are the driver and then know you have a CHL. If you only give them your DL, then they may want to know why you didn't give them your CHL as well.

All that comes back is name and address of owner, insurance infomation, and if the vehicle is stolen.

Is that what the old guys carried their revolvers in?

Still hear them making fun of our "electric" guns and asking if we brought our own extension cords or needed to borrow some at the range. They are a different breed.

If I was the OP, I would call and talk to a supervisor about the encounter. I'm sure the brass would speak to the officer on how to handle a future encounter with a CHL holder. Personally, I feel at ease when someone hands me their CHL, I know they are law abiding citizens not looking to shoot me on the side of the road.

Last fellow CHLer I encountered we talked guns on the side of the road for 20 minutes, let him go with a verbal warning for his speed.
