I have never been
asked to produce my CC permit in the 7 years that I have had one. I have been legally obligated to produce it more than once. My state (and most that I know of) require a person to immediately inform a law enforcement official if they are carrying a concealed firearm whenever they are interacting in some kind of official capacity (ie: a traffic stop). Most people do this by handing over their CCP along with your drivers license when asked for ID.

Forget about the traffic stops, etc. If you ever have to use that concealed firearm you sometimes carry, you can be damn sure that the cops will ask to see your permit.

Dude. If your state's laws require that you have a CC permit to carry a concealed firearm....then you need to have that permit to carry a concealed firearm. It's part of that whole "responsible gun ownership" thing.
