Not so sure about that...I was pulled over and the officer took my license and registration, went back to his cruiser and returned and said, "do you have a firearm in your vehicle? My computer says you have a CCW permit"
I told him I did have a loaded firearm in my vehicle and he told me he considered it a 'courtesy' for me to have notified him of this fact. I was polite and he only gave me a warning, and I pointed out that I was on his side and CCW holders have the lowest crime rate in the US...he merely repeated that he considered it a courtesy to be advised.
I asked my local LEO buddies what they thought of this and they all laughed and said I should have told him to got to hell. LOL...easy for them to say!!
“...he considered it a ‘courtesy’ for me to have notified him of this fact.”
He’s right. CCW training recommends that be exactly what you do even if you’re in a state where it’s not required.
