What should you do if you are stopped by law enforcement while carrying a concealed pistol?

Immediately inform the officer that you are carrying a concealed pistol
Wait for the officer to ask if you are carrying a weapon
Hide the weapon from view
Inform the officer only if you are asked to step out of the vehicle

The correct answer is: Immediately inform the officer that you are carrying a concealed pistol

If you are ever stopped by law enforcement while carrying a concealed pistol, you should immediately inform the officer that you are carrying a concealed pistol. This is important for both your safety and the safety of the officer. Waiting for the officer to ask if you are carrying a weapon (option B) may cause the situation to escalate and may cause the officer to feel threatened. Hiding the weapon from view (option C) can be seen as suspicious or even illegal in some states. Informing the officer only if asked to step out of the vehicle (option D) could also escalate the situation and make the officer wary of your intentions. Therefore, it is best to be upfront and honest with law enforcement about the fact that you are carrying a concealed pistol.
