I was involved in a fender bender this afternoon, and I was carrying at the time. Another driver decided to make a right hand turn, but not from the right lane. Cut right across my path and I could not stop. Low speed impact; no injuries.

I called the police and they showed up within 5 minutes. Officer asked for my drivers license. I handed him both the drivers license and my CHL. He immediately handed back the CHL (not sure he ever even looked at it), and went about his business without comment.

Did I need to show my CHL in this situation (he did specifically ask for my DL). I know there is now a defense to prosecution for not displaying it, but the accident was/is enough of an inconvenience. Didn't want to bother testing those waters.

Also, this was my first interaction with a police officer while carrying. No issues.
