And makes your traffic stop easier in general. I'd rather not surprise the officer and have him come back with an unholstered weapon.
I have never understood this standpoint. I have no issue showing mine fyi. BUT, how does showing it make his job easier? All that should happen is when he walks back he asks where is your weapon? He is gonna ask that usually anyway when you show him. Second, why would he come back unholstered? Simple failure to show doesnt justify a felony stop mode. CHL holders are not the officer's enemy.
