Take the class.

Get the CHL.

In the event you have to use your gun for self defense, having a CHL will never hurt you in the aftermath.

Having a CHL is much more likely to help you. The responding officers know you have passed the background checks, that you have had the training, and that you most likely are aware of some basic methods of de-escalating a tense situation.

They also know that your chances of posing any threat to them are almost nil. This makes a big difference in their overall attitude towards you and how they approach and handle the situation in the aftermath.
