Minor clarification.
quote:

They know you have a CCL when they run your drivers license and they can get upset that you did not tell them you had a weapon.

In LA, if the gun is concealed on your person, you MUST tell the LEO. OTOH, if it's in your car but NOT concealed on your person, I don't THINK you're required to tell them you have a concealed carry license. I don't know this for certain as I've never found it in writing either way. I'd welcome any further clarification from anyone who knows for certain.....

I'm obviously going to inform an officer no matter what, but I just want clarification. I don't want to forget about a gun in the console while worrying about a traffic ticket and have them see that I have a CCL and start asking questions. Then I get screwed.

As I said it is one of those unwritten rules that is showing the popo courtesy by handing them your CCL with your DL. Not a law just the thing to do so as not to anger them.
