Any who...
Several cops arrived on scene and I notified the first officer that the wife and I were both CHL and carrying. Also notified him of a third hand gun in the vehicle (still on its side), plus a few extra loaded magazines and boxes of ammo. He didn't really care.
Another officer came up to talk to me and the wife 20 minutes (+/-) later and I again told this officer about the CHL and the weapon still in the vehicle. His eyes got big and told me to get the weapon out of the vehicle immediatly. I am thinking oh great here we go. He said,"Don't you dare let that weapon out of your sight. Get it out of there and stick it in your pocket if you have to."
I explained that it is in an OWB holster but that I was currently carrying and that there was no way to conceal the other gun. He said that was okay, as there were 5 officers on the scene at that time and nobody was going to give me any grief about it. He allowed me to crawl into our vehicle and secure my weapon, magazines, and all ammo.
After I crawled back out, he explained to me that they did not want the weapon or ammo going to the tow yard with the vehicle as they have had weapons disappear in the past.
All in all it was a pleasant experience as far as the weapons/CHL went. No other mention of them came up after that and we were on the side of the road for 2 hours.
I tip my hat to those officers!
