When not attached, the seat belt buckle is at shoulder level, and susceptible to shining in the sun, or reflect headlights. Easily seen from a distance, despite drivers denial. Ask me how I know.
The funny thing about this stop to me was that I've read all these stories about officers asking, "Are you carrying now? Where is your gun?" Not one question from this officer about the gun, or the license. It was like he didn't care one whit whether or not I had a gun or where it was.
Yeah, I think the novelty has worn off, along with the fact that not one LTC holder has threatened a LEO, gives them no reason to be concerned. Every LEO I have spoken with, is very appreciative of LTC holders, because they realize we are an extension of their job, and have proven to be not only trustworthy, but will have their back, if things go south, for them sometime. I think DPS officers are even more comfortable, because they are usually alone in some very desolate, places, and back up from county deputies, may be a long way off.
