Just this week i got stopped outside of Weatherford TX on I20 by the State Police, ultimately the stop was conducted for "following to closely" but i digress...
so i immediately pulled over (not knowing what i was being stopped for, certainly not speeding) dropped all of my windows and shut the car off. Hands on the steering wheel (daytime stop to BTW).
LEO: Good afternoon, (introduction by him) may i see your DL and registration please.
ME: (i am not of the "have DL/CHL in hand" ilk...soooo..) Yes, sir, its in my back pocket would you like me to get it for you now? (Glock 30 on my 4oclock)
LEO: Yes please, do you have a gun on you or something?
ME: Yes sir, I am a CHL holder and i just wanted you to know what i was doing while i was doing it..
LEO: Grab your wallet and dont reach back there.
after i showed him my CHL/DL he asked me to put my gun on the passenger seat and exit the vehicle. I walked with him back to his cruiser where we waited for my TLETS return. We bull'ed about the military and LE stories. He eventually said, "yeah you CHL guys...we dont worry about you at all. You are always very forthcoming with exactly where your weapons are and very respectful. He gave me a warning and told me that we were Good to go. Thanked me for my honesty and i was on my way. Great Encounter IMHO.
