While I don't necessarily agree with the premise of licence checks, I took the approach that the young trooper was "just doing his job", "following orders", or whatever you want to call it. He was very respectful, and I tried to be, as well.

Under North Carolina law I was required to inform him that I was armed, and so I did. Again, he didn't make the law. Besides, both my license and my weapon were at my right hip, and I wanted to make sure he knew I was reaching for my license.

The fact that he appreciated me carrying reflects the same attitude I have encountered with virtually every LEO I've spoken with on the subject. That, to me, is a good thing...
