I have had opportunity to speak to local law men three times since I got my CHL. Two times it was my fault, and the policemen were kind, considerate and did not disarm me. I will say that one of those times, the officers took great care to have cover, just in case I went rogue for getting a seat belt ticket, but they did not disarm me, and were polite. I want to state that in both cases, I received a warning. Thanks guys.

The time I was disarmed, I was driving my son back up to the Houston International Airport, and one of the maintenance crew hit a rock with a trimmer, which broke my side window. I went back to complain after dropping off my son - nicely I might add, and request that the city pay for the broken window. The crew called the crew supervisors, who called the city police to make a report.

When the officer arrived, and requested identification, I produced my DL and CHL, as required. The officer asked if I was carrying and disarmed me - why I do not know. He kept me waiting for twenty minutes while he ran my license, checking for any warrants, and the car, to see if it was stolen. He eventually came back to me and handed me back the weapon, and papers, saying "hurry up and conceal that."

It turned out to be a big waste of time, as the city would not take responsibility, and I had to pay for the window, lose the time, and be checked out by the local police for driving to the airport.
