Sorry, yes I meant inform if you are carrying and I know it doesn't say that. It is a habit I have started because every time I have presented ID with my chl I have been asked if I was currently carrying and where on my body it was by all local LEO, not game wardens. I asked the officer about this and he said almost all CHL holders (it least where I live) show him their chl even if they are not carrying. This is why I have been asked if I was carrying both times I was stopped by a local PD even after I presented my chl. So I just tell them right away that I am physically carrying on my person or in my car.

But no you are not required to verbally inform. Just present your chl and id.

Edit: You should have seen the face on the LEO who asked where my gun was last time I got pulled over. I said on my right hip, my bug on my ankle and my fiancee has her SP-101 in the glove box. He just said "ok, keep your hands where I can see them at all times". :txflag:

If the game warden asks for ID, I will show ID including my CHL. However, if he only asks for my hunting license then I will only show him my hunting license. No different than a previous job when the TABC agent asked to see the TABC license, and we showed them that license but didn't whip out ID.

Thanks to everyone for all the responses!

Being new to the CHL thing, and carrying, I don't want to do something silly out of ignorance, and cause issues and problems. And thank you to all responsible for this great forum. It is a great resource for all us new guys!
