I didn't get to ask if it did so when they ran the License plate or if it was just the Driver's License or State ID card that flashed it.

The CHP is---as mentioned here several times---connected only with the Operator's License and not with the Auto License Plates.  The LEOfficer will first run the plates to see if the car is stolen and if the plates actually match the auto's description.

Then he'll run the Operator's License and check Insurance and Registration.    When he runs the Operator's License, a CHP holder's name will come up in RED at the very top of the screen.

Then way down at the bottom of the screen, also in RED, will state the reason why:   Concealed Handgun Permit Holder, Outstanding Warrant, whatever.

A Nice LEO ran the demo for me when I asked him to do so.   Interesting and Informative

As SFG said, they will know when they run your operator's license. It's probably best they find out from you first, even if you are not carrying.

Sorry, I guess I read into the last story that you had done so well before the officer had pulled up and had identified themselves with lights and such.

I'm having some trouble imagining a way to clear and strip a loaded Glock while piloting a moving vehicle towards the shoulder safely, much less with one hand.

Video?

After talking to a couple LEO's I know today (one in CB other in Omaha) can I ask that you do NOT do this if stopped in the metro? The reactions I got were not good. The CBPD said you would be "peeing in the fountain of my good natured discretion" heh, his words.  The OPD said if he saw someone breaking down a weapon as he pulled them over they would not leave the stop with that weapon. It leads him to believe the weapon was not concealed and that you may have been flashing it as you drive down the street. "Cute moves like that deserve a teachable moment to help the learning curve" 

Cops are people, some good, some bad, but doing something which could possibly antagonize them doesn't help any of us. SFG said in his class we have to set the best example while exercising our rights.  I think he's right.
