In SC it is not necessay to inform police if you are carrying like in a diner, But in NC the law is different. If you are in the proximity of police officer like in a mall or store the law is inform the police officer. I still do not like it because u can cause attention to your self.But that is the law. I always wonder though if you have a out of state permit for say NH so you can carry in GA> should you inform police?
§ 14‑415.11. Permit to carry concealed handgun; scope of permit.
(a) Any person who has a concealed handgun permit may carry a concealed handgun unless otherwise specifically prohibited by law. The person shall carry the permit together with valid identification whenever the person is carrying a concealed handgun, shall disclose to any law enforcement officer that the person holds a valid permit and is carrying a concealed handgun when approached or addressed by the officer, and shall display both the permit and the proper identification upon the request of a law enforcement officer.

In Ohio, you must inform the officer IMMEDIATELY. NC is the same way.
Unless I am in a mandatory notification state, I do NOT notify right away. If I need to reach to an area where my pistol is, I do. If the officer were to ask me to step out of the vehicle, I would. I would never consider telling every officer I see that I am carrying a concealed pistol. Tell the wrong officer that you are carrying a pistol and you will be looking at charges of threatening an officer.

Am I to understand that if I someone, in some states, is within eyeshot of an LEO and is CC, he must go up to the LEO and inform him of his CCW? I see that some posters have debunked that argument with their replies; if the former statement is true it has to have been invented by a democrat--absolute nonsense

I know if I'm driving a car an get pulled over I should tell officer I'm carrying but this morning four officers came in a diner an sat across from me,was it nessasary to inform them?I was thinking would it be a good idea to have a business card that stated the fact an just hand it to them? Would be a lot easyer than walking over to them an making them very nervous,just a thought
Check this thread out....a quick google search found it!!
Legal duty to inform LEO of CCW - Packing 4 Life Forums
I took it upon myself to do some research on laws specifically requiring CCW holders to inform LEO's in 50 states that they have a CCW in possession, when the LEO initiates a contact. I checked 7 different gun, and CCW Forums. The only place I could find the information without writing 50 letters was at packing.org. I had to search through 50 state postings to gleen this information though. There are only 9 states that specifically mandate through statue that you must immediately notify. 6 states are listed as unknown. The remaining 35 have no such specific statue to mandate notification, but require documentation through a valid CCW permit if requested by the LEO. Read only if interested.

hmmm...what is conceal/carry for that you have to inform each and every officer that go IN A DINER...??? Would they be looking for you or they are on a coffee break? What if 10 of them enter the diner, will you not get tired of telling them or distributing them your card? :no:In Ohio, you must inform the officer IMMEDIATELY. NC is the same way.
