Legally, no, you don't have to show your CHL if you are unarmed. I would personally advise the officer that you do have a CHL and notify that you are unarmed and he is more than welcome to see your license if he wishes. If he ran your DL then he knew if you had a valid CHL but I guess he did not feel the need to see it. You did fine.

Some here will argue that you don't have to show it even if the officer asks and they are correct, I personally see no need in creating a fuss about handing over a piece of plastic.
