Sorry thats what I meant dicion. I know you have to give it to them if they ask for ID. I just meant what you said,that there is no penalty for not showing if not asked. Honestly even if the officer didn't ask for your id I think I would still give it to him. Secondly, I have only been pulled over once by a cop and he didn't ask for my ID. He wanted to see what motor I had under the hood of my old chevy.

Totally untrue from what I have experienced when getting pulled over. I was pulled over by a Harris County Sheriffs deputy. I had a headlight out and it must have just happened on my way home. The officer pulled me over. I turned my light on in my truck with the window rolled up and waited for the officer to approach. He gave me the motion to role down my window and I did. He asked me how I was doing this evening and asked for my license and insurance. I know that you don't have to give them your CHL unless they ask anymore but I rather let the officer know just incase he somehow sees the gun on me or pulls me out of the car. I them told him that I am a CHL holder and am carrying my sidearm on my person. He asked where and I said my right hip. I told him my driver license, CHL and my insurance was in my back left jean pocket. He told me to get it. I then gave him my CHL, driver license and insurance to him. He then ran my license and told me that I had a front headlight out, which I didn't even notice until he told me. He told me to have a good night and told me to get the light fixed the next day. He did not bug me, harass me or pull me out of the car. He was professional and courteous and acting like it was no big deal.
