Now, had you gotten in trouble with the officer for not showing your CHL, there is no longer a penalty if you fail to show it. However, it is still the law that you must produce it.GC §411.205. REQUIREMENT TO DISPLAY LICENSE. (a) If a license holder is carrying a handgun on or about the license holder's person when a magistrate or a peace officer demands that the license holder display identification, the license holder shall display both the license holder's driver's license or identification certificate issued by the department and the license holder's handgun license.
The way I explain it to my students is that the penalty of suspension was removed from the books, but the penalty of dealing with a ticked off officer on the stop will always remain. If the officer believes you intentionally withheld the license as opposed to forgetting, things might start going south from that point on.
Yeah, not matter what, you always have to remember the POP charge. (irritating the Police)
