Starting Life as a Concealed Carrier

If the retired Sheriff has this much trouble communicating to an LEO, what chance do we have?
Error - Getting out of vehicle
Error, - Not following orders to return to vehicle
Error - Getting stuff out of pockets when ordered to hold still.
Error - Resisting arrest
Any I missed? Hitting the white line a couple times, does not show well.

What does this have to do with falling all over yourself to tell the cops you have a CHP? The guy was clearly a jackass and felt immune from following the directives of the cop as a retired LEO. I'm obligated to obey the law, but posting that as an example of what can happen if I don't kowtow to authority is a stretch.

Never believe "it can only happen to the other guy." I believe carrying a handgun increases my odds of survival should I find myself in the middle of a bad situation, like Von Maur. First choice is to run and otherwise escape but it's nice to have other options.
Gary:
Several on forums have made a point of "Official Contact" being a buzz phrase, in dancing around what is needed.
Here is the word for word question from the Nebraska State Patrol CHP test given by instructors:
(this question was written by the State Patrol)
Question removed to comply with NSP rules on CCW tests. AAllen
The question does not say, official contact, it says contact, implying even a casual conversation, say eating in a restaurant, possibly exchanging light conversation as you face each other, sitting at separate tables, several feet away.
(extra pointe for the correct answer)

You should not be publishing test questions from the NSP CHP exam on this Forum or anywhere else. Your posting is totally inappropriate and you should remove it immediately by means of the modification process.
When instructors are issued the CHP exams in their appointment packages, they are specifically cautioned to guard the content of the exams to keep them from being released publicly.
Doing otherwise compromises the integrity of the exams.
Here is the official definition of contact from NAC 272, Ch. 21:
002 DEFINITIONS
002.04
“Contact with emergency services personnel” shall mean that the permit holder is provided treatment by emergency services personnel in the course of their official duties.
002.05
“Contact with a peace officer” shall mean that the permit holder has been stopped, detained, questioned or addressed by a peace officer for an official purpose or in the course of his or her official duties.

I'm wondering how you have a copy of the official State Patrol test. You said you only took the NRA Instructor course a little while back---therefore you cannot already be an official NE CCW instructor. (It takes quite a few months before the State Patrol approves your class syllabus for that, and they wouldn't start the process until you had your NRA certification.)
SFG is completely correct, by the way. If a CHP instructor actually posted a question from their test in a public forum such as this, it would be a significant issue specifically prohibited by the State Patrol, and the State Patrol (understandably) will not be thrilled.
So---where did you get a copy of the test, Gary?
