As long as you don't plan on shooting me with it, I don't need to know if you have it.
I need to find the citation again, but I recall seeing that licensed carriers are even less likely (strictly statistically speaking) to commit a major crime than sworn law enforcement officers. Kinda blew my mind.And given the statistics regarding crime of all kind (much less, firearm-involved/violent crime) committed by licensed carriers (and unlicensed carriers in constitutional carry states), knowledge that a person has an LTCH is pretty much prima facie evidence that said person is not planning on shooting you.

That is correct so that begs the question which one should really be disarmed at that traffic stop.I need to find the citation again, but I recall seeing that licensed carriers are even less likely (strictly statistically speaking) to commit a major crime than sworn law enforcement officers.

Seems like an informative show. I think I'll start trying to listen on a regular basis.Guy Relford has a radio show on WIBC and he talked about this pacifically, that you do not have to carry your license.

Is it acceptable to keep your original LTCH in a safe at home but keep laminated copies in your wallet, car, etc? Would a LEO accept the copy as burden of proof even though it's not the original?
It is my understanding that yes, an copy (preferably on pink paper) is sufficient. My original is in the safe. Laminated copies are in my wallet and range bag.Is it acceptable to keep your original LTCH in a safe at home but keep laminated copies in your wallet, car, etc?

My apologies for not noting that I actually don't have my LTCH, yet. I am currently in the application process (fingerprinting is tomorrow). According to the ISP website, there is a new plastic cards instead of the paper pink ones. I have not physically seen one yet, but I get the impression that the new card is still pink, but is double sided, has rounded corners and has the state emblem on it in color. Making a laminated, paper copy would obviously not be an original. I would prefer to have my credentials with me, but worry about a lost/stolen card and waiting for a replacement. I could always just get a second card from the get-go, but they still cost $20.It is my understanding that yes, an copy (preferably on pink paper) is sufficient.
