I haven't been asked for both before at the fair, but they are supposed to match. Maybe this officer was just checking that.
Both supposed to match? In what way?
They did the same to me. I thought it was odd.

I think that it is much more likely that as the law requires you to show BOTH your DL and CHL when carrying, that they were simply requesting them both.
