You are correct on this. ONLY when carrying (under any authority) are you required to produce your CHL for the LEO who asks.Abraham wrote:So, when carrying only, if I.D. or D.L. is requested by an LEO, we CHLers have an obligation to show our CHL. Understood. Which, I have no qualms about doing. Why would anyone who is a law abiding citizen?
Let me try to clear up the confusion. The law does not require you to produce the CHL when you are not armed. Most of us advise you to do it anyway to avoid any confusion with the officer. Short version: You are not required to but are advised to.My confusion existed because I thought one didn't HAVE to produce it if unarmed and that it was the CHLer's OPTION to show it as a courtesy if so chooses.
