2013 newbe status 'check'

[DJFriar]

What is the protocol for being stopped and asked for ID if I have not received my License, as I will show on the system as having a chl but I can't produce one? I was told in my class to always produce the chl with my dl to avoid possible confusion with the LEO even if I am not armed. In fact I could have a weapon in my car but not carry outside my car or property right???

I was told very, very sternly that you do not carry until you have your plastic card in your possession.

I think the castle doctrine still applies as long as you don't carry outside of your property or vehicle.
