Only happened once, out of maybe 4 or 5 times stopped (this was during first year CHL was passed). I was stopped, in tandem with another vehicle, for speeding. The officer approached the vehicle in front of me first, and spoke with the driver for a minute, then came back to my vehicle where I sat with window down, hands on wheel, holding my DL and CHL ready for him. He was a younger officer, very polite, and upon seeing the CHL, he asked if I had a gun in the vehicle and where it was located. I told him I had one in the console and one in the glove box. He asked what they were, and I told him a .45 in the console and a .38 in the glove box. He said he was going to handle the other driver first, and he'd feel more comfortable if I'd step out of the vehicle and stand in front of it while he handled the first driver. I said sure, and stood there until he released the other driver and came back to me. We talked a couple of minutes about the car I was driving and how fast it was and how fast I was going, then he issued a warning ticket and said he appreciated my courtesy and that he was having to get used to the idea of other people legally carrying. He laughed and said he realized that the people who told him they were armed were probably not the ones he should worry about , but he just hadn't adjusted to it yet. I told him I understood, and thanked him for the warning.
