(j/k)You never had to show your CHL when presenting ID if not carryiong. Many folks (including me) would do it anyway as when they run you license it shows up and they might come back and ask if you are carrying. Also, some LEO's were misinformed and thought, like you, that you had to present it at all times when asked for ID.dewayneward wrote:I saw some of the responses and need to get something cleared up. A few posters mentioned that if you are asked by a LEO for ID, you dont have to give them the CHL if you are not carrying. I know that there was a law that went into effect on (I think) Sept or October 1st that stated that the PENALTY for not showing went away, but I thought that you were still required to show the LEO your CHL if asked for ID?
This may be one of those "well, the penalty is gone, so there is no reason to show it" type situations, but I wanted to be clear on if it is still a requirement to show the CHL regardless of carry status...just that the penalty is gone.
And I would hope that after all the hoopla we had to go through in order to get the CHL that we are all carrying 24/7
