It’s illegal to attract the attention of cops and allow them to find your gun.
Cops in NC are different. I have shown my CCW numerous times to traffic cops or approaching copps that might see me carrying. City, county and state troopers alike. They send me on my way to have a nice day. A few even compliment my gun.
My brother and I are under the asssumption that the reason I got a warning for speeding in a school zone last month was because I had a CCW. Police here actually appreciate law abiding carriers.
This is one of the many reasons I would never ever ever live in a liberal metropolitan area....
