I've been stopped by DPS and wasn't carrying. I chose to not show my CHL. no freaking out occured. Officer went back to vehicle, issued me a ticket (expired inspection), and when returning then mentioned "I see that you have a CHL" which I interjected with "yeah, I'm not carrying". His response "very good, have a nice day". The whole incident was a very quick process.
Yeah, I wasn't carrying because I can't at work nor can I stow in my car while in the parking lot.
That said I don't believe I'll display my card unless I'm packing, and in that case I'll be sure to place it right on top. I'm a believer in 'need to know only' in regards to personal info and practice that at all times, regardless. That includes showing CHL at stops when not required even though they see it on their system.
