Re: Friend stopped by DPS and scolded
Due to my work I often encounter LEOs in the course of their job. While at work I am required to be unarmed, but every time I have such an encounter and am asked for ID I always present my CHL. The primary reason is that it makes their job a little easier. You see anytime we report something they record everyone's information, of course. Now by presenting my local LEOs with my CHL they know I am already in their master names software and they never do call my ID in, so it saves them a little time. In fact when its an officer who deals with us on a frequent basis they often simply ask me for my DL number and ask what gun do I normally carry now. After answering their questions I usually get told "You really need to get one of these Kimbers like we are issued, plus you won't have to change holsters." But when you deal with shoplifters, forged/counterfit/hot checks, ect. regularly you get to know your local PD on a first name basis (And they are all pro-gun, Kimber addicts, and for the most part friendly).
