Note, some states require you show CHL when asked for ID. Some have this requirement only when you are carrying. There is at least one state (to our east but I forget which), that requires you show CHL when approached by LEOs and before they ask for ID.
When I travel, I check every state I'll pass through. Further, if I have questions, I check for state forums such as this one to ask for clarification.
Since you were traveling through OK, what about Indian Reservations?

Re: showing your chl to an officer in another state
Though many would say it's a good idea, Kansas law does not require a CCH licensee to show their license to a LEO unless they are specifically asked to.flb_78 wrote:Ive been reviewing Kansas's laws since I'll be there next week for some training.
Kansas has no car carry, so only CHL holders can transport a loaded handgun.
CHL holders are also obligated to show their CHL when asked for ID in Kansas.

As for the cop and reason for the stop, well...shoulda told him they're hidden in the back!
BTW, Shorts <-- Hispanic
Oh to the OP, definitely check the laws of the state you're visiting and abide by them while you're there and you should be ok.
thats just plain FUNNY
OJ ...stop my sides are hurting you could hide lots of stuff in a bronco
after my last few months of being beat on by certain figures that wear a badge.....yes i was doing no wrong.
i would have been very cautious about admitting to anything unless directly asked.
i used to trust the police, but now if they aren't my local folks i choose my words very carefully and be respectful were given the same. other than that...get a warrant, I will wait.

North Carolina...I think. Idiotic requirement in my opinion, but NC didn't ask me...Paddler112 wrote:Note, some states require you show CHL when asked for ID.
