Tell Officer of CCP when pulled over when NOT carrying?

[XD40scinNC]

I live in a state that doesn't require a permission slip to conceal or open carry a gun.

How would you react then?

... And, no.. There is no registration of firearms either so how would a cop know if I am armed or not?

Would you just "tell him/her" that your packin heat?
Or is it not even the cops damn business?

That is a different situation than states that require permits, especially when the permit is linked to your drivers license, compounded by must advise laws in the state.

Most of the sheeple here would trip over themselves to announce they have a CPL even if they don't have a gun.

Is TX a must notify state?

Is TX a must notify state?

Yes:

GC §411.205. REQUIREMENT TO DISPLAY LICENSE.
If a license holder is carrying a handgun on or about the license holder’s person when a magistrate or a peace officer demands that the license holder display identification, the license holder shall display both the license holder’s driver’s license or identification certificate issued by the department and the license holder’s handgun license.

And here's the beauty of must notify laws. They do absolutely nothing to make anyone safer. Their only purpose is to provide a means to charge a normally law abiding citizen with a crime. There is no state that has a law that requires a person illegally carrying a handgun to notify a law enforcement that they are doing so because such a law would violate the 5th Amendment.

My 2 cents on the topic - definitely depends on the state and laws in the state. We are not required to tell a policemen we're carrying if pulled over in Indiana. So... if pulled over I don't. If the policeman asked me to get out of my car and was going to frisk me for some reason I would let him/her know that I have a license and am carrying before I got out of the car.

I have a NC permit as well, and it's state law to inform regardless as to if you're armed or not. Do I agree with it? No, but I'm not going to cause myself more problems or take a ride in the paddy wagon because I didn't inform. The times I've been stopped whether it's speeding or a random license check I hand them my license and CCW and tell them if I do or don't have it on me, and every single time to date the officers are cool about it and send me on my way. I'm sure there are officers out there who will be dicks if they're not informed per the law, but I've never put myself into a position to find out.

Where did you get that information from, because it is incorrect. Might want to read the law for yourself. I'll help:


§ 14-415.21. Violations of this Article punishable as an infraction.

In lieu of paying a fine the person may surrender the permit.

(a1) A person who has been issued a valid permit who is found to be carrying a concealed handgun in violation of subdivision (c)(8) or subsection (c2) of G.S. 14-415.11 shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
