Hi all. I've been a member here for about a month reading and gathering some very useful info. I just recieved my permit in the mail this weekend. I haven't carried anywhere yet (Mainly because of my job). I know that I'm not required to notify a LEO of my permit when stopped for a traffic violation but, since my D.L. number is the same as my Firearm Permit Number wouldn't he/she find out anyways? I would think a LEO would appreciate being told right off the bat. Now i could understand not saying if I wasn't carrying but if I was...? What do ya'll think?
It's not required here to notify here in Georgia either, but is considered advised. A local state trooper who for years taught self-defense shooting and concealed carry classes, always advised his students to hand over the CCW along with DL and insurance, while keeping both hands on the steering wheel.
In the 10 years I've been licensed to carry, I've been pulled over once and been checked at several DUI roadblocks. I just always hand over my CCW and they always hand it right back and say "thanks." I don't announce that I'm carrying but wait for them to ask, and they never have.
