Good Morning All,
Sunday morning my teenage son and I were involved in a pretty bad accident. Luckily, no parties sustained injuries though my son got his first and hopefully last ride in the back of an ambulance.
We were headed home from camping in a state park (gun free zone), I left my hardware at home. When the officer responded and engaged me, I did identify myself as a permit holder and told him I was unarmed. In that instance, I was still in a bit of shock. My thinking at the time was that when he ran my identity the ccw would pop and it could create an unnecessary problem. The young officer was very polite and appreciative of the disclosure. On the ride to the hospital to meet my son, we talked a bit about ccw and he seemed annoyed that I was not carrying until I explained about the state park rules --- he thought it was total BS. At the hospital, he checked in on my son and even answered a few of his questions about the officers hardware.
I am not sure if I had to identify the permit or not in that situation -- please chime in on the topic. Given my state of mind, Airbags deploying, car totally spun around -- I felt it was the best way to go
