re: Question about having a loaded gun in your vehicle

To my understanding it is an unwritten rule that as a courtesy if you have a CC license you should hand the officer that with your DL. 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. If you don't have a CCL and you choose not to tell them because they did not ask I see no problem with that. If/when I get pulled over I will hand him both licenses to keep it simple. Also heard of people getting off easy because they are CCL holders.

Yep.
I've gotten out of 3 tickets because of my permit. People argue that they think I'm being ridiculous but when your conversation with an officer turns from him being irritated with you to suggesting holsters for you, he probably let you go because of your permit.

Minor clarification.
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.....
