It's better than getting shot in a situation similar to LAWDOG's....

Really, it's not a big deal and in the encounters I've had so far the officer conducting the stop has seemed to relax a bit. After all, if you hand him a CHL guess what he knows about your criminal background?...

Relax folks, this is a harmless piece of legislation that is aimed at protecting both the Police AND the CHL holder. There are better things to be upset about.

True, SOME cops have a problem with it, but the majority of them don't.... after all, it's TEXAS!
