It was the first time I've been stopped since living in Texas and I am black so I just wanted everything to go smoothly. At the end of it, I thought he treated me with respect and was ultimately just doing his job and doing his best to keep him and I safe. No complaints here.

We would all certainly comply. But then there are the people who think the CHL progiram in and of itself is against a conctitutional rights and all that line of thinking. These are the ones who really remember the word "reasonably" from various statutes. My not being an attorney or anything, just some poor schmo out here in the big scary world, does not take those instances of the word "reasonably" to be designed to be restrictive. Just my .02

He can never know when the seemingly polite, friendly person he just stopped will pull a gun and shoot him in the back when he goes back to his car to check the license. If he asks me for my weapon, I'll certainly comply.
