Nope and Nope!! This is just a way to allow swatting. This was why the statute was written, so that the mere fact of carrying, was not probable cause to demand your LTC. This is also a way, to prevent anyone, involved in a self defense shooting, to not only lose their gun, but also their LTC, before they have been charged or convicted of any crime. More emails being sent to my reps.

I prefer a law creating a Class B misdemeanor offense if a peace officer fails to show their license when a citizen asks if they're a LEO.
"A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned."
