Re: No CHL and traffic stop while carrying in vehicle.

I think the biggest problem we have here is the fact that alot of CHL holders are apprehensive about being disarmed like a criminal during a routine traffic stop. I am absolutely against an officer disarming me in that situation. I feel that disarming me is an insult and it can cause issues if persons that you know(persons you work with,etc.) DO NOT know that you are a CHL holder. If they see you being disarmed on the side of the road,then it's pretty apparent that you carry a gun. In some situations,that can cause problems. IMO-there should be a set standard for disarming a CHL holder during a traffic stop,and it should be a written standard,not something left up to an officer's "discretion".
