Failure to produce such license either at the time of arrest or at the preliminary hearing shall create a rebuttable presumption of nonlicensure. |
Again - as I posted three times already - the law uses the word "produce"; a citizen must "
produce" a license.
To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing (in the law) that describes the manner of "production"; nor is there any law that states that a license "
card" must be carried - or that, specifically, a "
card" must be "produced".
I have already gone over what *
might* lawfully constitute "production" of a license without having a 'proof of license' "card".
I'm really not trying to debate this - I am only stating the fact (as far as I know it to be true - pending proof it is not) that there is no law that compels someone licensed to carry firearms must
carry a license "
card" (or "placard", or even a law containing wording to the effect of: "must
carry proof of licensure").
I am not (I REPEAT:
NOT) suggesting people should not carry their license "card" (or a photocopy - as gnbrotz suggests) with them
at all times they are exercising the 'privileges' afforded by their LTCF, I am only stating that no law exits that compels you to carry one.
