Section 205a of the penal code states that a CHL holder must produce his CHL along with his DL during a traffic stop.
Somewhere I read that this is still the law, but that the penalty for NOT doing so was removed. I need to see this in a manner that I can print it out. Anyone know what law changed the original law?
OK, you're wondering why I need this, right? No, I didn't screw up! A buddy of mine is SAPD. We were talking this AM about CHL stuff and he commented how it concerns him that a CHL'er must show his CHL if stopped, but someone carrying under the castle doctrine (no CHL) was not subject to the same law. I told him that I had read somewhere that although I still have to produce my CHL, the penalty for not doing so has been removed. He's never heard of this. I'd like to print out the official change in the law if I can find it. Can anyone help?
FYI...he did state that if no CHL is offered, he routinely asks if there is a weapon present.
