Most people do this by handing over their CCP along with your drivers license when asked for ID.

Most states do, but Oregon does not require me to inform law enforcement that I am carrying. I am required to notify them only if asked. I inform them without being asked because I don't want them being surprised by it when they see a spare magazine in my glove box or see my gun when I reach for my wallet, or any other reason. Surprises like that are not a good thing.

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.

That is exactly why you NEED that permit if your going to carry concealed.
