I was talking to a friend of mine who is a deputy. His advice was that whenever I was stopped by a LEO, say for a traffic violation, that I should tell the deputy that I am armed.
I never do that. If they ever asked me or told me to get out of the car then I would immediately hand them my permit. If I kept a weapon in the glove box, which I don't and I had to reach in there for a registration I would first hand them my permit.
In other words, if there's any chance they'll see the weapon I'll disclose that I'm carrying but if not I see no reason to tell them. Any thoughts?
