Greetings--

I recently had a contact with a Deputy. I was rear ended in an auto accident -- quite minor for my vehicle thanks to my trailer hitch. Unfortunatly, the other vehicle's radiator was impaled :-(

When approached by the Deputy, I handed him my DL, CHL and insurance. He didnt look at any of them, but pocketed them and went back to his unit.

When he came back to return my info, he asked if I was carrying (which I was as always). He simply asked that for his safety, I place my handgun in the car.

Question-- By law, was I required to verbally inform him I was a CHL holder and carrying or was the act of giving him my CHL sufficient from the applicable laws standpoint ?

I understand verbally notifying the LEO out of courtesy-- just curious about the law.

Thanks--
