I *think* as of September 1st you're not required to show your CHL to an officer if pulled over (please correct me if Im wrong). I've actually thought about it for the last couple weeks, I would tell the officer that Im expecting my CHL but it hasn't arrived yet while handing him my DL. I would guess that most officers would be OK with that, especially since I wasn't carrying.

OH how did I miss that, I handed him both my DL and CHL.

Cliffs at bottom.

After a long agonizing day at work (I work with kids and got sick mid day, a/c broke in the car and a 120 mile commute) I came home to see my CHL sitting on my desk. It sure did make my day a lot better even though I was feeling like bad. I rested for a bit and decided to head to class because I hate missing out and having to catch up on work. My professor let us out a bit early because it was labor day weekend, so I pretty much ran out to my car, buckled up and took off. I was exiting the parking lot and took a right turn while rolling the stop sign. As soon as I turned, I saw a police SUV hiding behind a tree waiting for someone make a mistake like I did. Before I even passed him up he was already rolling out to pull me over. He hits the lights so I pulled over knowing full well what I did and was ready to accept the consequences. He asks for my driver license and insurance. I gave it to him and he left. The officer came back a couple minutes later and told me he was giving me a warning and to be more careful next time. He also told me the fine for failing to stop at a stop sign is $250.00. I thanked him for giving me such a big break and that Ill be more careful next time. He didn't even asked if I was carrying. I was just glad it was a positive experience and not getting a ticket was a bonus.

Cliffs:
Got CHL
went to class
got pulled over after class for running a stop sign
Officer was professional and courteous, just gave me a warning.
