Would it make matters worse if when asked for ID, and as I show my CHL, tell the LEO "yes, (meaning I'm armed) Please keep it private.(Meaning don't let my passengers know.)??????. I just don't want to let it be known that I carry. The less people to know. the better.
Once you are pulled over you really don't have any control over how the encounter goes. You can be respectful and ask for discretion, and it may work, but it may not. The best bet is to not get pulled over in the first place. There is no way to make sure you don't inadvetantly commit an infraction, but being knowledegeable of the law, and being a respectful and courteous driver will help. Here is a link to the Texas Transportation Code: http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/tn.toc.htm There is a lot of information in there. It is pretty easy to run afoul of the law...
