Do you need to show cops CCW even when not carrying?

[CSACANNONEER]

Sacramento County requires you notify Law Enforcement even if you are not carrying your gun

I thought they changed that a couple years ago?????

Logically, if you don't drive a vehicle, you are not compelled to present your driver's license, right? Same applies here, if you don't exercise your carry privilege, you logically don't need to present your carry permit.

Driving "privilege".
Carry "right".

There's a difference... it's huge... ;-)

My permit is carried on a lanyard holder around my neck. This way I can easily pull it out and show it to any officer, while keeping my hands in Plainview.

Long Beach PD is encouraging people to wear their LTCs on lanyards around their necks and visible.

Wow. A sign on them saying I have a concealed gun.
And the majority of businesses denying you entry..

Why do they want that?
At lease not mandatory

May as well tell the bad guy with a gun, "Go ahead and shoot me before I can draw."

No way would advertise that I am carrying.

I need to find out from my IA if I need to show my permit if I am not armed. Until I find out, I'll just show my card along with my ID, reg, and insurance.

According to Bruen, concealed carry still may require a permit, thus not a right everywhere, especially in California.

At least, they don't make it a condition for the concealed carry. It really makes no sense.

You're kidding?

What idiot came up with that?

Not yet.

Interesting. Who is your IA? And is there any statement about this on your actual permit? Or somewhere on their website or their list of relevant information?

I don't understand the reasoning behind telling an officer you're a permit holder when you are NOT carrying. But not everything IA's want you to do always make sense.

The IA is the City of Pomona Police Department. It is the #4 item listed on the CCW Permit Terms of License Agreement that I signed and agreed to. It states that "Regardless of whether or not I am carrying a firearm, when contacted by ANY law enforcement officer, I shall advise them that I am a CCW holder."

I had an interesting discussion with members of the Tuolumne County SWAT team this morning. I stopped by a local deli and there were eight officers having some food.

I introduced myself and asked the question about showing my CCW if I was stopped. Several of the guys said the same thing: You do not need to present your permit whether armed or not, the exception being if I was asked to exit the vehicle. They said, "We would know if you have a CCW, anyway."

I mentioned that some IA's require one to present their permit whether armed, or not. The leader of the group said it's up to the individual IA, but it's not a law.

We also talked a bit about SB2 (the Portatino Carry Law). Several of the guys said it's ridiculous, and, if one carrying concealed, how would anyone know?

A few of the guys spoke up and said they resented the attacks on the 2A.

One of the guys thanked me for being a concerned citizen and providing for my own self-defense by obtaining a permit. He said he wished more people would get their CCW.

As we were all getting ready to leave, I thanked them, and said, "Be safe out there."

You interrupted their lunch?

Nope. I would never do that. They were finished and getting ready to leave.

I disagree...

In most cities a permit is required to assemble in a public place and protest.

That doesn't mean we don't have the right of freedom of assembly.
