Re: Have to show CHL out of state?
You need to go check out "Handgunlaws"...They have a section in each of the states breakdown of their CCW laws that specifically address the "Notify Law Enforcement" or "Must inform Officer" issue you are concerned with...
http://www.handgunlaw.us/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It looks like Colorado doesn't require a permit holder to notify an officer of the law of your "status"...
But, and you are free to use your own judgement on this...I would, upon an encounter where a Law Enforcement Officer officially asks "Who are you?", I would certainly let them review my ID and permit(s) to carry at that time...They will certainly ask you the obvious question at that time as well...So be cool, don't put your hand on it trying to describe where it is on your person (if that is the case)...
In most cases it doesn't become an issue when cooler heads prevail...
Just do a little research, know the state laws where you are going, heck, print them out and keep them in a little manilla folder to review on your trip...The more you do to understand these issues, the better you handle yourself...
