Yeah, this is true.
Can I say a funny story though? I don't know if it's appropriate though..
Okay never mind. What I will say is this though, it's not a "problem" legally. But it can be. It's really a big gray area though. The process it takes to not be a problem is a PITA for both the officer and citizen.
You're made and the first assumption to a citizen is "I'm a good guy! Stop!"
The first assumption to the officer is "Let me check this guy out ASAP!"
There have been several cases where good guys have had knees in their backs and are detained while being checked out. DL, CWP, Serial number..etc.
It's not fun when that happens. It's officer and public safety though.
However the gray area is this, some officers who are more decorated and rough around the edges don't get too excited for this when it's seen and you'll get stopped if you print or exposed they'll ask to see your permit and you'll go on about your day.
A rookie or an officer who isn't as decorated may do the part where I mentioned a knee in the back and all that fun stuff.
So every officer is different. Hence the gray area. You need to just do your part, you don't know what the officer has gone through to be a little jumpy or anything. So being snappy won't help. Be the change you wish to see.
