I've carried in WI on my non-resident PA permit, but wondered if I am obligated to inform an LEO if I am stopped for a traffic or other offense?

Here is your answer.


Displaying License to Law Enforcement Officers.  
When carrying a concealed weapon, a licensee must at all times have with him or her the license document and photo ID and
must display them upon request of a law enforcement officer acting in an official capacity.  Failure to have or present a license and photo ID when carrying a concealed weapon carries a penalty of a forfeiture of not more than $25 unless the person presents, within 48 hours, his or her license to the law enforcement agency.

In Texas you are required to, with a Texas license they already know but if another chl license from another state you are required to.

WHY CARRY A GUN?  Because carrying a Cop would be too heavy.
