Concealed Carry and contact with Law Enforcement
bullit:
David what does it matter that none of your information is on the registration or plate? If this is in reference to CHP, recall this is tied to your Operators License.....
Ronvandyn:
I got stopped about 2 weeks ago because of no tail lights after dark (weird car, headlights come on automatically but not the tail lights). The cop was pretty nice about it and was standing right next to me as he was having his dispatch run my drivers license. At the end of the transmission from dispatch she informed him I had a CCW. I was not carrying at the time so I didnt notify him, but when I heard the notification from the dispatcher I told him that yes I had a CCW but was not carrying. I turned on the tail lights (stupid car) and that was the end of the contact. Well, I did tell him that if I had been carrying that notification would have been the first words out of my mouth, we both had a chuckle over that.
NE Bull:
I heard today that a local LEO told a local Firearms Group that it is MANDATORY that you disclose you CCW right away, whether or not you are carrying at the time.
I know we all have differing opinions on this. I for one let them know either way, just to not have any hassle. BUT does the law state as such? Maybe we should get a opinion from the AG? settle this once and for all?

Not needed in my opinion, the statute is pretty clear. Seems some LEO's need some training on the laws.
bullit:
No AG opinion needed. The statute is clear..carrying = must notify. ..not carrying = not required to. ..take home message ....never ask a cop about the law especially an ignorant (dictionary definition) one...
