Actually, I don't think I've ever been asked that. Granted I haven't been stopped in the last five or six years, but before age 25, I had plenty of traffic-related interaction with somewhere around a dozen different constabulary agencies.

So the main idea is why do we have to show. I don't care either way, and I know the "should we have to show" has been discussed before, so lets focus on the differences in the above sentences.
We have to display our CHLs because that is one of the compromises that was made in order to get the law legalizing CHL passed. It was a sticking issue then, butit wasn't a sticking issue when the current car-carry law was written/debated/passed. Different times, different priorities. <Shrug />
