There is no duty to inform an officer of conceled carry in PA

 

[LEO 65-4]

Informing LE

To the best of my knowledge, only 7-states, Alaska, Arkansas, Michigan, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Texas require notification and it's IMMEDIATELY. Don't know about Wisconsin since the politicians only recently saw the light....If any USAC members know about Wisconsin, please post it. I have'nt had the time to research it...Link Removed

If you do not inform the LEO that you have a license to carry, will he learn that you have a weapons permit when he runs your driver's license?

IANC (I Am Not a Cop) but this question has been raised before, and folks who are cops in Pennsylvania say that this info does automatically "come up". One or two systems *might* have some way to flag the operators attention that there may be more information if they do a little digging, but the majority say that an entirely separate inquiry must be performed to determine that.

NO you do NOT have to automatically notify the officer that you are carrying.

As far as "coming up" when doing a driver's license check, the last I heard the answer is yes.
