I have a question, When must one "Legally" tell a police officer if he or she has a CCW? Right away or when asked? I cant find the statute..
Thanks

So just to be clear, lets throw out a hypothetical... I was pulled over by Johnny Q Law while I was CCing and he askes me for my Drivers license and proof of insurance. I must then show him my CC License as well? I'm not one to push the issues, I just want the facts so my other friends know as well.. seams like a issue that can happen often..

I'll be corrected if wrong, but I don't believe you must offer your CC license in this scenario. If he asks if you have any weapons in the vehicle, I think it's in your best interest to be honest. If he then asks if you have a permit for your firearm, at that point you must provide your permit.
Thanks for citing the actual language.
Yes, you are correct. My answer to the LEO inquiring about weapons would probably be along the line of "none of your business" though. Then he'd have no lawful authority to demand my papers. Once again, my opinion.

In other words a cop conducting a traffic stop just has to say "can I see your driver's license and CCW permit?" and you have to show them your permit, even though they ask the question not even knowing if you are supposed to have one?
