CCW training recommends that be exactly what you do even if you’re in a state where it’s not required.

Not really...when I am working in a state where I am not a resident, I usually obtain a concealed carry permit...mostly because it is good training and I get a lot out of the class sessions, almost always taught by active or retired LEO guys.
I really like the classes and at one time had permits in AZ, NV and ID. Plus have taken advance combat handgun courses in Nevada...EXCELLENT course. Nevada is a non-recip state.
Never once did anyone ever say that it was required or a good idea or a courtesy to inform LEO during a traffic stop...I understand the concept, I just don't recall in the many hours of classroom lectures ever hearing this mentioned.
Thanks, though.

Years ago it may have been ok to do the courtesy of volunteering you’re a CCW holder. Today, answer truthfully if asked and don’t volunteer anything else. It may depend on the state though.

Interesting, I have been to several and one of the most common “suggestions” is if you are pulled over and you are carrying, when asked for your license you hand him that and your CCW permit.

Actually several states have “Duty to Inform” laws on the books :

By just making it a matter of your practice when pulled over it eliminates the need to know each and every state law. Personally I have always just believed it to be a smart thing to do.
