Their universal response when I hand them my CHL is "you don't have it on you, do you?", and then when I reply in the affirmative, they act a little taken aback and give a "well, don't go for it" or something similar.

Seems backwards to think like that. My response would be "If I were the kind to go for my gun in the presence of an officer, that'd make me not the kind of person that would or could get a CHL." Or something that sounded better in my head . . .

Agreed. Why bother to get a CHL if you plan on pulling a weapon on an LEO?

LOL, I misread it. My bad. No wonder everyone else didn't jump all over that one. I read it as a Target Pistol. (Dyslexic?)

First off, I think it was a very nice thing that the OP did.

I hope that the OP also told her that the MPA requires her weapon be concealed. Not only to let her know how to comply with the law, but for her own safety so that a potentially loaded weapon (which all weapons are by default) does not fly around the car in the event of rapid deceleration or braking.
