I think it can help if it is presented as an explanation rather than proof. Most times that I've been stopped the police are pretty reasonable about being open to an explanation (They typically will ask if there is a reason for speeding) Although the printed document is not proof. It may either remind him of what he doesn't remember or give him doubt enough to ask from the more knowledgable over the radio. If the officer is in the parent mode and being argumentative, a printed web site isn't going to resolve a thing. If the officer seems honestly puzzled at why you would present to him an out of state permit, it can only help.seamusTX wrote:Does carrying a copy of the law or a web site actually work? In my few encounters with the police, their answer to any discussion was a version of "shut up or I'll arrest you." Granted, most of that was in Chicago in less politically correct times.

An officer would have to wonder, why you would present the out of state permit and admit to carrying if you didn't honestly believe you had the right to carry.
