Get a copy of your states Firearm Laws. It was issued to me when I finished the paperwork for my cpl application, but your state may operate differently. It should (I would think) be on the states website.
I'm surprised that the law can't tell if you have a cpl during a traffic stop. Here in Michigan it's the 2nd line that comes up when a plate is run. The fine (1st occurance) is $100 here.
And Yes, it is irresponsible to carry without your card on you. Whether or not you did something on purpose is not the deciding factor. Responsible means taking care of the things that are your responsibility. Irresponsible, is NOT doing so. So unless you want to argue that you aren't responsible for keeping your card on you when you carry...?
