I was in an accident yesterday. A guy turned right in front of me into my car. Anyway I called 911 and got the emergency guys and one LEO. We were all out of the cars when the LEO got there so I waited for him to come up to me. When he asked for my license, I gave him my DL and started to hand him my CHL. I also started to say I had a CHL and he interrupted to say "if you don't show me yours, I won't show you mine, okay?" I naturally said fine. And that was that.

He was a very friendly guy and did a great job on the accident report. We talked a little and apparently all he handles is traffic accidents. Anyway the interaction with him was very pleasant.

That has to be an original. I like it.

My first "official" showing of my CHL was also at an accident site when I got rear ended. I didn't get any memorable comments from the deputy when I handed him the DL, CHL, and insurance but that was also the first time the pistol was a real comfort. The encounter started when a truck full of five illegals rear ended me. They got somewhat mad that I insisted on having a report filed for insurance and before long, two more appeared from somewhere. It took the police about 45 minutes to arrive and the whole time I was thinking how glad I was that Texas was a shall-issue state. At the end of the day the "translator" got three tickets since he claimed to be the driver and I got to file a claim on my insurance
