Thank you for your perspectives. Although I made a point of pulling way off the road, you're probably right about the safety issue, it's just the only time I was ever asked to get out, so it bothered me. I agree, always obey the officer.
and uh ... @Alan, I still have my 1911 from Nam.

Re: What's with getting out of the car?
My CHL app is in the "waiting on background check" stage. I just found this forum and find it helpful for me to decide what/how to carry. Perhaps I misunderstood and posted in the wrong place, but with the forum title of LEO Contacts, I thought I would ask a question that has been bugging me. I think it is CHL related because I want to know what my rights are once I do start carrying and it happens again.

What's with getting out of the car?
Stopped by a DPS trooper for going 6 over in a 70 (wound up with a warning). But, after he took my stuff and came back, he asked me to step out of my vehicle, and we finished the session standing off the side of the road. My question is, do I have to get out of my vehicle if asked, and why is he asking me? Was it an alcohol thing? (I had not been drinking and there was no reason to suspect alcohol). Just curious.
