If I'm not mistaken, you must inform in Indiana. When a LEO brings up your license, it will show up that you have a CC. I got stopped once and the last thing the LEO asked me was if I was carring. I was not that day which is why I didn't say anything. He thought he was going to bust me for not informing.
So, which is it? If I'm pulled over for a bum brake light, do I HAVE to notify the LEO, or is it just good practice?
How does this differ state-to-state? Or does it?
Thanks.
Where did you get this list? I was told by my CCW instructor you need to notify in Maine.
Being retired LEO I can tell you I would prefer the person inform me as soon as I approach the person. It will make the experience more comfortable for both of us...Now don't miss-understand that I would treat you differently..But keep in mind if we were at a violent crime scene I'm going to want to make sure all weapons are secured before getting into the investigation...I would rather you tell me than me having to find it on you....Like I said it could avoid and miss-understanding between us and you know in that in this situation people are already tense!.It may even give you an edge with me.....Keep in mind this is my thought and opinion...But you know what they say about those.
Plus who knows in a bad situation you might be my only backup! Before you ask yes that has happened in a live fire call..Neighbor and I were pinned behind my car.....He had CWP and assisted me..Must say he handled himself very well.....Story had a good ending with the good guy's not leaking..
Hey All,
I live in NYS and have an unrestricted carry permit.

but...there is a huge difference between a traffic stop and a violent crime scene that you bring into this.
