Something else, indeed.mloamiller wrote:I keep my DL and CHL in my wallet - right hip pocket, just past my gun at 3:00. I haven't been stopped since I've had my CHL, but in the past, my normal reaction was to reach for my wallet as soon as I pulled over, so I had my DL and insurance card ready for the officer when he came to my window. Now that I'm wearing a gun, I'm very conscious that it's in near proximity to my wallet.
What do others do in this situation:
1. Reach for the wallet anyway.
2. Don't reach for anything until the LEO asks, then tell them you have a CHL/gun before reaching.
3. Always keep DL and CHL immediately available, not in wallet.
4. Something else.
I wear my wallet and gun in the same configuration as you.
I simply have my wallet in hand on the steering wheel before the officer ever gets out of his car. When he walks up, hand both licenses (CHL in front, DL in back, fanned out a bit) and be friendly.
Don't say, "I have a gun". If he wants to know, he'll ask. I've been pulled over a couple of times, and never have they asked, but both times they've looked at the CHL, thanked me for showing it right up front, and handed it back to me before proceeding.
