...once again, I would follow the letter of the law...I've had a lot of conversations with cops about things I've called in on...on the street or at home...a coupla times they asked for my driver's license to make a report...I handed them both DL and CHL...if they just ask the name or info without requesting identification papers/cards/etc...I don't volunteer it...
...HOWEVER...if the conversation led you to believe that you were under investigation or about to be arrested , I would bring it up immediately, prefaced by "I know you don't like surprises, Officer...so I want to tell you that I have a CHL and will be glad to show it to you if you wish..." might keep you or him from making a trip to the laundry...let him ask you if you are armed at this time...don't tell him "I have a gun" or anything of the sort...
