These "pulled over while carrying" threads can be summarized into a few different classes of response:
-Those who say you should always notify
-Those who say you should always notify because of the ruse that it might
get you out of a ticket. (Fat chance, IMO, but people still believe this for
some reason. )
-Those who say you should only notify if the law requires it.
-Those who say you should only notify if the law requires it or you are
asked about firearms, or asked to get out of the vehicle.
-Like the above, but have had a bad experience with a LEO to back this up... (eg, gun stuck in ear, dragged out of
car, muzzle swept by own gun during a disarm, etc. )
-LEOs who tell you don't do it unless law requires it (Because it might spook
some leos that don't get ccw very well )
-LEOs who tell you to ALWAYS do it regardless.
Oh, and almost forgot:
-Those who excoriate individuals for not doing it.
-Those who excoriate individuals for doing it when it's not required.
Pick one or more than one of the above, push BLEND button.
