That's right. Employees only by law. I wonder if any companies will start using more contractors because of it.

Going back to the original question for a moment, there's no requirement to show your CHL if you're not armed. It may be a good idea, like turning on the interior light at night, but it's not required.

That's a lot of pulling over - might want to check your driving habits.

Not necessarily. I get pulled over a lot and am not doing anything wrong. They are profiling cars as well.

Once they go to run your DL they will know you have a CHL - then there is going to be the question raised of why you didnt just notify. Anything I can do to make leo life less strefull I figure why not.
How does that make the stop less stressful?
