LEO's are not always well informed about CHL and we have seen cases of inappropriate action being taken.

Just yesterday, a former CHL student called our Instructor over a problem he had. He was pulled over for a minor traffic infraction by the Pharr PD and presented his Drivers License and CHL. The LEO asked where the gun was (in the glove compartment) and ordered the driver out of the vehicle.

The LEO opened the glove compartment and removed the pistol for inspection. He became very upset when he found it was actually loaded and reprimanded the CHL holder for transporting a loaded weapon. He was advised that the gun had to be unloaded and the ammunition stored in a separate place. Since this was a violation, the LEO seized the pistol.

As of yesterday, and following a discussion with our Instructor; the CHL holder had an appointment with the Pharr Chief of Police. Only in the Valley.
