Care to clarify 'this' in relation to thought provoking ?
If you're armed, you declare. If you're not armed - up to you to decide if you declare or not (purpose of this thread was to give one officer's opinion on the matter).
I've been in a stopped car at least once (as passenger).
I've had non vehicle official contact 3 or 4 times at least.
Outside of the duty to declare and that the officers have reacted favorably - nothing terribly interesting to note in my particular experiences.... other than maybe it's a bit of an ice breaker and gives ya something to idly chat about heh. I believe all but one of my encounters involved a "oh, what do you carry?" question :)

I just got a new license when we moved two months ago, and thought that it was a Nebraska badge indicating a CHP, but then my wife (no license) had the same gold star. I had thought that the DMV wasn't allowed to mark our licenses...

Was just looking at www.gunowners.com and the Quinn VS Texas article.
Not sure if this is on topic or not....but it seems a carry permit has other potential consequences. :o
John Quinn was asleep in his bed when Texas police broke down his door in the middle of the night, and shot him when he reached for a weapon, thinking his home was being invaded. The police were there to serve a search warrant for his son, Brian, who they suspected of dealing drugs.
The only justification for the no-knock raid that police gave was that John Quinn owned a firearm. The police claimed that firearms ownership was enough to present a danger to law enforcement, even though they knew John Quinn had a concealed carry permit — meaning the state of Texas had pronounced him to be a safe, law-abiding citizen.

No knock warrants are wholly illegal IMHO.... but that doesn't change the reality of the situation (that such things exist).
In regards to Quinn -> officers in question should have been charged with murder (prolly second degree). At least, that's what should happen legally ... cough.
But yes, you do provide an excellent example of registration (for say concealed carry in this case) leading to heavy handed gov't action. Most site confiscation, but this is a good alternate example.

By "this" I mean this thread's discussion.
