i have been pulled over for going a little over the limit twice in the past 4 years since having a CHL.

both times i had my insurance card, DL and CHL easily accessible so the officer would see it as he walked to the car. I know these guys may be nervous and have no clue what kind of person I am, so I keep both hands on the wheel with one hand holding my licenses and insurance.

one time the officer asked me if I had my handgun on me. I said yes, and he asked me to leave it in the car where it was and step outside to talk. He run my license to show I had no warrants or anything, and let me go with a warning.

the next time the same thing happened at first, but this officer asked to see them. He unloaded the two handguns I had in the car and run the serial numbers. After the check came back ok he gave them back to me, unloaded, and told me to have a nice day.

I thought about it for a while, since I wasn't sure whether I liked him running my serial numbers on my handguns. After much thought, I decided I liked the fact he did that since there is a chance that with that policy being in place, some people who's handguns have been stolen in the past may get their stuff back.
