"In my class, I was taught to always give the officer both my permit and drivers license."

No need in my State. CWP records are linked to DMV here. They immediately know the instant they run your plates whether or not you've been issued a CWP. They'll be fully prepared before they walk up on you. When the officer appears at your window, he'll ask "are you armed?" If yes, he'll ask where it is, and ask you to keep your hands away from it.

Simple solution: Register your car to a corporation. Ideally, to an out of state corporation you formed. Heck, just register them in your wife’s name (assuming she doesn’t have a CCW).
