Ditto Texas. One thought is that when presenting an officer your driver’s license it is a good idea to also hand him/her your CCL, even if you are not currently carrying (let’s not get into the you should always carry flames OK). An officer in Texas will immediately know that you have been subjected to a background check, have no felonies and are a good guy, plus he/she will appreciate your honesty and concern for a safe stop. On the other hand if you are coming home from the range where you have just shown of your entire arsenal to your buddies, maybe it’s best to drive real slow?

The law says you only need to “show” your ID, not “hand it over.” It should never leave yoru hand....if you want to exercise your rights.

Let's be clear. If you are carrying, you must provide CHL ID along with Driver's License or other valid ID; per Paragraph 6.43, of Chapter 3: DPS Rules Relating to the Carrying of a Concealed Handgun in Texas. It appears if you are not carrying, you do not have to provide your CHL license, but I would agree it is a good idea to do so.
