I've been pulled over twice since I've had my CHL, both times the officers knew i had a CHL before they came up to my window. I do the window down, lights on, hands at the top of the wheel thing too. Anyway, they both asked if I was carrying today, I said yes, they said good and let me off with a warning after checking my insurance. I don't know if having a CHL influences whether you get a ticket, but attitude certainly does.
