That may have been the way it was presented in class. I do remember we can not use our CCW permits to go armed on a snowmobile! lol

Your interpretation does not match what I have been told by instructors and LEOs. If you are not carrying a handgun you do not need to tell them you have a CHP.
019.02 A permit holder carrying a concealed handgun who is officially contacted by any peace officer or emergency services personnel must immediately inform the peace officer or emergency service personnel of the concealed handgun unless physically unable to do so.
Most LEOs said it would be nice if you told them you had a CHP and were not carrying any firearm, but the rule above states "carrying a concealed handgun" not "anytime you are officially contacted".

Couple months ago I was stopped for pushing the speed limit and since I was not carrying at the time, I did not inform the Lancaster County officer that I have a CHP. Did so as I was taught in my CCW class by 88-Tactical and per State Statue. Even after running my information, the officer made no mention nor did I about said permit and we conducted business and went on our separate ways. Sometimes too much information can raise suspicion as well as not enough. Do what you think is right and within the parameters of the law and you should fear not.

Gary, while I understand the thoughts behind the disassembly of your firearm, but I have to ask; What If that hadn't have been a 'good guy' coming up to check on you? Seems to me a broke down Glock is all but worthless. Just my $.02.
Gary:
I always hope people that drive interceptor vehicles and have 2.4 million lights of red and blue pointed at me, are on the level.

I've talked Sen. Brasch into doing an "interim study" on that very subject after this Unicam session. ;D
