i am not disagreeing with you. Relax. i just stated my opinion on this..he could probably have avoided a negative response from the policeman by doing what the policeman was "used to experiencing" when encountering a CHL holder. i am not saying anything about the OP, he was correct. but IMO (again) politeness does have something to do with it. But that is just me, you know...Miss Manners.anygunanywhere wrote:Irregardless of what you think is polite, no one deserves to be scolded for obeying the law. Polite has not a thing to do with this.
An individual who does not show his CHL if he is not armed is RIGHT, and whether your version of Miss Manners dictates that you be polite and show yours is your business.
Would you expect to be scolded for driving the limit, coming to a complete stop, or for having your vehicle inspected before it expires?
Do you go ahead and tell the LEO that you are not under the influence of drugs or alcohol when you are stopped too? That would be polite, but not required under the law.

Re: Friend stopped by DPS and scolded
i have read thru most of the postings...some humorous and some not...I guess where i stand on this issue is this:
True, there is no LAW that makes you show a CHL if you are not carrying. But there is no law that states that you should hold the door open for old ladies leaving a store either. You do it because it is the Right Thing to Do. Not because you have the RIGHT not to.
