Re: Duty To Inform?

The thing that triggers the requirement to display the license is a demand by a peace officer or a magistrate to show identification at a time when the holder is carrying a handgun on or about his person.

Any demand at a time when you have your gun. Street, bathroom, your bedroom. That's the plain wording of the statute. Whether the magistrate or peace officer has a right to make the demand is debatable based on circumstances and location but that is not a part of 411.205. If you defy a demand and you have your gun you takes your chances.
