Same here. Except flying. I always "opt out" and take the pat down over the nude-body scanner.

Re: If I don't inform a Leo will it hurt me in any way?

There is no penalty for failing to inform. However, it is generally encouraged (by myself and others) to offer ID and CHL as soon as stopped WHEN carrying.
In this instance you had no duty to inform of a CHL when you are not carrying. Period.

Having a CHL SHOULD NOT be a waiver of your 4th Amendment rights. I would like to know what probable cause the officer would have had if you had declined consent to search.
