I handed the trooper my IDs and he asked if my firearm was on me , i said yes sir ,right hip IWB.
He had me step out, looked me over and asked where it was again ,so i told him and pointed at it.
This made me feel good about my cover.He said that was fine.He was very polite and gave me a warning for 70 in a 65 speed zone. needless to say everyone slowed down .

thats pretty dandy indeed, you could help us all out alot on how to carry proper.

Not living up to your handle, I see.

Sometimes Irony can be pretty ironic.

to the Trooper!


Nice to see that he felt no need to disarm you...(as some LEO do).


My hat is off to him (and the others) who know that CHL's pose little (if any) threat to them.

Thanks for sharing.

You know, I've been stopped three times since I've had my CHL and I have never been asked, or made, to disarm. I guess I've just been lucky.

Glad your inciden't was without issues.

I don't think "lucky". The vast majority of LEO seem to be more than O.K. with CHL's.

Coincidentally, I have been stopped the same number of times in the 12 yrs. I've had mine. None of the officers gave more than a cursory look at my CHL and then handed it back.

Conversely, I could find at least a half dozen forum members that have been disarmed and have posted about it. By extrapolation...it is easy to see that it does happen in numbers worthy of our concern.

Recently, it seems to be less of a problem, (if the sampling here is any indicator), so perhaps "some"....individual/departmental policies are changing.

Dang! 70 in a 65??

Please tell me where you were so i make sure i dont go a hair over 65.

Personally, there is at least one Irving police officer who doesn't care for you going even a bit over the speed limit on 183. Also I have been warned to stay at the speed limit in the Woodway/McGregor area.
