before i got my CHL, if i was stopped by a LEO in my truck, roll all the windows down, turn on the light(if at night), turn truck off, keep my hands on top of the steering wheel and not move until the officer reached my window. then when he/she asked for license and insurance i would tell them where it was in my truck and that i was going to reach for it. they usually say thank you or thats fine sir, or something like that. i plan to do the same thing next time i get stopped but before i move i will add in the sir/ma'am i am a chl holder and.........

i do this so they know they are leading the way on the stop, and i intend to comply with everything they say. i don't want to get hurt for no reason and i don't want their blood pressure up. they have enough stress from jerks anyway so i figure being polite and taking any ticket is a plus for them. besides, the nicer you are the more likely they are to give you a warning. i was stopped on my way to buy my AR-15 for speeding. i didn't have my insurance card, i had been getting quotes and left it in the house. the sergeant who stopped me was so nice and she gave me a warning for speeding and said she believed me that i had insurance. so attitude goes a long way...
