Here's my experience. I have a heavy foot (I know, I know) and have been stopped three times by Texas DPS in different counties. Each time I have handed them my DL with CHL on top of the DL. Each time the officer has been extremely courteous, looked at the CHL, and handed it back. I remember each one asking if I were carrying, twice I said yes and they asked where the gun was, in an IWB holster, and each said just leave it there. These two also said they didn't blame me a bit for carrying while traveling and thought everyone should carry. One added he liked my rear bumper sticker (How's that hopey-changey thing working out for ya?). None of the three gave me a ticket although one gave me a written warning. None disarmed me nor asked me to exit the vehicle.

Another quickie-- last year driving through New Mexico down I-40 I was stopped by a county deputy who walked up to my truck and looked in and asked if I was carrying any illegal drugs. Of course I said no, and he then asked if I would like to. I laughed and said no, then he said have a nice day and walked away. I supposed this was just a quick drug enforcement check at random. Never even asked for a DL or any ID.
