I can envision an interesting scenario though.... One thing I love about this forum is the scenario creation we all are capable of... ;)

You go out with a bunch of guys (say 6th street area here in Austin). You are carrying when you leave your house, but knowing that many of the places on 6th street are 51% places you leave it in the car when you get there. You have no intention of drinking, but at some point you decide to have more than a few. The plan at that point is "guys, we're just going to cab it home, and i'll come and get my car tomorrow."

So.... in this scenario. The LEO asks for your ID when you are walking around (not obviously drunk, but probably not ok to drive), runs it, and says "i see you have a CHL. Are you carrying? " to which you say "I am not, but I have it in the car (clearly,volunteering that you have it in the car may be a mistake). We've decided to cab it home though tonight."

What would be the likely responses? The LEO may or may not believe you'll cab it home. Would be justified in asking to go to your car and disarming you? Would he congratulate you on a good decision? ;)

I've never done the above, but I think its a realistic scenario.
