In Colorado, we have no notification requirement, and I would never tell a cop I have a gun. I tend to think cops get real nervous and might mistake my "I have a permit and a concealed weapon" as a statement of " I have a gun" and then shoot me.

Tone, demeanor and appearance is everything. As a fairly unthreatening-appearing woman, I've never had a cop get nervous when I have declared a weapon. Usually, I might add, because they've asked, based on my CWP that would have been flagged when they called my info in.

Usually. I guess I just look mean, not that I try to.
