I got my Class A unrestricted last year and I have since taken more classes to understand the laws and to better my shooting. I remember the first class I asked the instructor "if I am pulled over, do I need let the officer know I am carrying?". His answer was no, don't complicate things. Since MA is so strict with gun laws, I will most likely be taken out of the car and have my firearm taken away while they run all my info. If you are clean it won't lead to anything, but its going to waste 30-45 minutes of your time. His advice was to not say a thing until asked.
I see on this site where the laws are listed for all 50 states, that some say you are required to tell the cop. But I don't see anything about MA. Whats everyones take on this? Even if its legal to not say anything, would say something anyways to prevent a complication if the officer asks you to get out of the car and finds it?
