By the end of 2 months I had a mohawk. I figured if they were going to treat me as suspicious...Maybe cops are suspicious 'cause they aren't used to wombats that drive.

too true
That may also depend on the jurisdiction(?) One of my neices is with a Sheriffs department down there and they are fully digital. CHL''s pop on a plate check.In CA unless you are flagged for previous negative contact, the officer must ask for a ccw check through dispatch. As much tech as is available CA Leo's have very little in their cars. it's mostly done through dispatch.
Most officers ask about weapons in the car as a part of any contact. What and how you answer may give them reason for further search or not. DR
Didn't know this. That's kinda weird because in washington you are not required to notify law enforcement that you are carrying. Wonder what their motive is to share that info with PPDFYI......
Even WA state shares WA CCW info with the Portland PD.
Aloha, Mark
As in Oregon. No requirement to notify.Didn't know this. That's kinda weird because in washington you are not required to notify law enforcement that you are carrying. Wonder what their motive is to share that info with PPD

I read an article that reported Oregon CHL holders as the group had the lowest crime rate. Even off duty LE officers had higher crime rates. Article was decades ago, but I'd figure the results are likely the same now. Not only do CHP holders have to meet the various elaborate criteria for no past crimes or even violence related misdemeanors. We have to be willing to be fully fingerprinted as well as to have an interaction with LE . When a LE officer stops one of us and our info comes up, the LE oughta breath a big sigh of relief. If we weren't so pathetically law abiding we would just carry without a CHP.We drive an older Ford Explorer to go shootin'. It's our range rig. When I taught martial arts I had a local PD officer as a student, (there's a story for another day) and he called my range rig a meth mobile. I told him we don't meth around like that. He said they are told to profile those because they are cheap and drugies like cheap cars. Well, so do I. Got pulled one night and was told that my back bumper was still in the intersection when the light turned red. (PROFILED) So, I had almost made it all they way through.
I told the officer my carry status, and he said thanks for letting me know. Then said he didn't feel like writing a ticket and to pay closer attention. I thanked him and was on my way. Less than 5 minutes.
On another occasion, I had OSP tailgate me at 55 mph for about 45 seconds then quickly back off and turn around.
I do roll with US flags and Federal ammo stickers, and my license plate says "I'd rather be shooting" Got that from Redmond Black Rifle before he retired. Amongst other gun organization stickers.
Nothing on the driver's license identifies a CHL holder. It is when the Officer runs your license plate or driver's license through their computer or dispatch. It will then pop up. Unless something has changed in the last couple years. I retired in 2020.
It's tied to your name and DOB/ ODL. When you are run on a traffic stop, it will be relayed to the officer that you are a CHL holder by Dispatch, or if the officer runs you on CAD, it will come up as well.It is obvious the police can ID a chl holder by looking at the ODL. What is the identification on the drivers license that is telling? Thx
The sad reality is that know that knowing a person is a CHL holder should make officers more relaxed at a stop, as there has NEVER been an attack on an officer by a CHL holder in Oregon. Officers can't say that about their fellow officers. Their fellow officers are infinitely more likely to kill them, since that's happened since Oregon's CHL law was passed.It's tied to your name and DOB/ ODL.

There's nothing relaxing about being and an LEO in the PNW post George Floyd, Michael Brown and many others controversial events. I don't think you understand how we went from everyone loving us to grand mothers flipping us off and 7 year Olds protesting our police stations and them being lit on fire. Think about it like this if good people are out training do you thing bad people are out training? Of course they are.could a bad person have a CHL? Of course. I guess what is more important is if you treat a traffic stop the same way with great officer safety and professionalism the likelihood you will make it home to your family every night increases. We typically don't care if you have a CHL or not. Like I said bad guys train as well.The sad reality is that know that knowing a person is a CHL holder should make officers more relaxed at a stop, as there has NEVER been an attack on an officer by a CHL holder in Oregon.
