This has been discussed before. You have a variety of bad options.roge wrote:So, if LEOS don't care to expose me as a CHL holder, how can I keep my passengers from knowing that I'm armed? Would it make matters worse if when asked for ID, and as I show my CHL, tell the LEO "yes, (meaning I'm armed) Please keep it private.(Meaning don't let my passengers know.)??????. I just don't want to let it be known that I carry. The less people to know. the better.
1. Hope he does not say anything
2. Pass him a note
3. Try to verbally communicate your desire for discretion without letting the cat out of the bag
I would suggest 1 or 3 simply because i don't know how he would react to a note. Personally i would say "If you have any questions about my ID i would prefer not answer them in front of my passengers." Because I wouldn't mind telling the passengers to mind their own business when that piques their curiosity.
