I dunno... I think what the law says, is that the police will assume you are armed if you tell them you have a valid CCL. I didn't see an obligation to disclose unless asked. I think you are almost always best informing an officer you have a valid CCL, regardless of the reason for a stop. The officers are probably just interested in ending their shift without incident, and go home safely. I have had one traffic stop and I told the officer I had a valid CCL, and it was in my wallet, and how did he want me to proceed. I carry my wallet on my right side and my weapon there as well. He said he would preferred I exit the vehicle, to remove my wallet. The stop was very professional, and he let me off with a warning ticket. I asked if that was the proper way to handle it, and said it was perfectly fine. In hind sight I think I will carry my DL & CCL in a shirt pocket from now on.
