A big thanks to Chuck24 (see post # 70 above) for correcting me on Virginia "shall inform" or "must inform" State Law. He is absolutely correct as Virginia law actually states: " 18.2-308 (H)...The person issued the permit.....shall display the permit and a photo-identification.........upon demand by a law-enforcement officer."

Obviously the operative words are "upon demand".

I probably will not change my own "up front" mention of my permit if and when stopped, but Chuck24 is correct in that in Virginia, one is not required by law to do so unless asked by a LEO.
