Starting Life as a Concealed Carrier
patrickdm:
I would like to thank everyone who provided comments, even the ones that were slightly "off topic". ;) Great advice on the what to do when stopped, thanks. Most of the tips I already practice, windows down, lights on, hands on the wheel. Everything I can do to show law enforcement I want the stop to go as smooth and stress free as possible for both of us. I find myself silently practicing the "I have a CHP and am carrying" speech when in a vehicle. It's been a while since I've been stopped for anything.
I am becoming more comfortable being armed in public. I still catch myself looking in available reflective surfaces to see if it shows or if I'm printing. I'm using a King Tuk IWB that sits at the 4 o'clock position and I'm getting used to the feel. I do need to practice drawing the gun.
Again thanks to everyone for the tips and advice.
Gary:
To the OP, congratulations on getting your CHP. I likewise just got mine, along with my wife. Sorry if I posted a memory of something that worried some of you. My intention was to help show the intent of the statute. I did not post an answer to a question, only mentioned a question that stuck out in my mind.
I do answer PM's if I put my foot in it again. I had not come back to this thread until now, so it was not possible for me to take heed from other members posts. Thanks for helping everyone.
I might suggest taking further classes on gun safety from local NRA instructors here. several members here list classes they teach, and they do help build gun safety knowledge and skills.

Mind answering those, Gary? I also am curious as to the sources of your information.
Also, you originally said:
--- Quote from: Gary ---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)

After which you wrote a question and its potential answers.
Then later you said:

First you say it was word-for-word, then you say it was from memory. Either you are saying you have an perfect memory (which is unlikely, considering your posting history) or one of those statements above was a lie.
I ask again, just like I asked above:
Where did you get a copy of the test, Gary?
And if it wasn't from a copy of the test, why did you say it was word-for-word when it was from memory, from a test you took months ago?
