Not applicable to me I have a out of state CCW would not be in my present states system, even though it is recognized in my present state.
No I ment I would not be in the states data base since my CCW is from another state. So the officer would not know I had a CCW when he ran my plates. Sorry for the misunderstanding
No he doesn't. Your plate may link you to a CCW permit but he has no idea who's driving the car. So everyone gets treated with suspicion. If your state doesn't require informing then I would not do it unless asked specifically, asked to get out of the car while carrying or if it's in the glove box where your insurance card resides.If I'm carrying, then I bring it out with my license --- even if it isn't asked for. For me, it's the safe thing to do and clear up any doubt up front. Besides, by the time the office gets out and comes to my car he already knows if I have a CCL anyway just by running my plate.
Check state law and remember not all cops are the same nor do they all have an accurate understanding of the law. I've been told that Kansas DLs and tags don't reveal CCW info anyway.
You are required to produce your CHL when carrying and asked by LEO for ID, however the penalty for failing to do so has been removed. That stated, I offer it up w/ my ID if carrying, and I do not if I am not carrying.
That is going to depend on the state. I am required to advise, but I don't have to show my permit unless I am asked for it. In the one encounter I have had, the city cop didn't ask to see it, only my drivers license.
That's amazing! He actually knows who is behind the wheel of the car just by running the plate? Wow. You have some psychic cops down there. Up here in Washington they have no idea who is driving the car just by running the plates. All three of my cars will come back to my name but 2 out of 3 of my cars are 99% chance being driven by my wife or daughter, neither of which have CPLs. Texas is truly amazing! Not to mention very 2A unfriendly. I don't have to tell cops a dang thing about my gun or CPL.Besides, by the time the office gets out and comes to my car he already knows if I have a CCL anyway just by running my plate.
Since this is the Texas thread, I'm citing the Texas requirements.
