In Colorado, we have no notification requirement, and I would never tell a cop I have a gun. I tend to think cops get real nervous and might mistake my "I have a permit and a concealed weapon" as a statement of " I have a gun" and then shoot me.

I'll bet the cop knows you have a CHL/CCW before he ever steps out of his vehicle. I know the do in Texas, because the CHL's have the driver's license number right on them. Of course they still have to correlate that to your vehicle's tag number, and it's possible that the driver would not be the one with the CHL.

Nope. That is a separate computer system and they really don't care.
