Good God this was a long fucking thread, and I definitely didn't read every post, but I read enough to say: A: exarch, shut the Fuck up. Not just here, but in all forums. You have posted about a years worth of senseless bullshit in a months time, so goo ahead and take eleven off. B: as a chl holder I've been pulled over several times in the past three years, sometimes while carrying, sometimes without. During one traffic stop in Akron, I could tell by the amount of time the cop spent in his car before approaching me that he hadn't ran my license plate and had no clue I was carrying. I informed him add soon as I could that I had a license to carry and had a .38 on my right hip. He thanked me for the info, told me to leave the gun where it was and give him my id. He clocked me at 72 in a 35, wrote me a ticket for 50, thanked me for notifying him that I was carrying and apologized that he couldn't let me go Scott free. Of the 5 other times I've been pulled over since I got my chl, I have notified the officer regardless of whether or not I had my side arm on me and have been let go inn the most polite manner with a warning. Keep in mind I'm a heavily tattooed, 215 lb male with a shaved head and goatee, not exactly what a cop would categorize as harmless or law abiding. I just treat the chips with courtesy and respect and so far they treat me in turn.
