First time was with an animal control officer. He was driving a truck with very similar painting as my local LEOs. I offered the CHL as a courtesy (weapon was in my car, I was 15 feet outside of it in my driveway holding my escapee dog). He asked if I intended to use it, I laughed it off and said, "Absolutely not, Sir." My dog had a case of mistaken identity, it all worked out in the end.
Secondly, I was dropping off two lady friends, with my male friend in the front passenger seat, and a female deputy inquired as to my presence in an empty church parking lot on a Friday. I was waiting on their ride to pick them up. I handed her my TXDL, CHL, and insurance. It took her a minute to figure out that I didn't give her both my and my male friend's TXDLs. As soon as she realized it was a CHL, she asked, "Where is the weapon?" Accompanied by gasps of shock and awe by the females in my vehicle. I told her, "12 o' clock." She stared blankly at me until I clarified, "In my lap, under my shorts." She asked my friend and me to step out of the vehicle, and insisted that I keep my hands on my head. Her explanation was something along the lines of, "We don't mess around with people who have guns." After hanging out with her for a bit, I mentioned that my arms were getting tired, and asked if there was any other position that would work for her. She conceded to letting me cross me arms over my chest. I did mention that she was carrying a weapon and that fact didn't bother me at all. Finally the girls' ride showed up, everything was resolved, and we were allowed to leave the scene. I was never disarmed, and I fought the urge to ask the female LEO for her phone number.
I have had several contacts with LEOs where they did not request my ID. All of those went smoothly.
