I'm saying don't be surprised if you get the "place your hands on the sterring wheel now and slowly use your left hand to open the door..." as you get pulled out of the car and disarmed for the remaining duration of the stop while your LTC number and gun serial are run. If it's unexpected, the officer's response may be less cordial than it would be if you had announced it up front, particularly if you're dealing with the one of those five officers who is of the opinion you should announce it as soon as your stopped. Some officers posess this (IMO) faulty assumption.I'm not quite following you Obie. (and you are one of the posters who have my utmost respect in regards to explaining interaction with LEOs) I'm trying to understand your last sentence. Did you mean to say that if you are carrying, and don't announce that fact, and are discovered later to be carrying, you're going to have tough go of it?
I don't think you meant it that way, but what exactly do you mean?
It also could be my reading comprehension skills are failing.
In my opinion, this is an area where the MPTC would do well to have a statewide standard police response in the absense of a mandatory announce law.
Pretty much.I think what Obie is sayin is that if you go to get your wallet out of your back pocket for your license and the officer identifies a gun coming from under your shirt as you lean, there is certainly going to be an OHH SHIT moment going through the head of the officer and how he reacts will certainly depend on the officer. That is what "Concealed means concealed" means... if you get made in certain situations it can get ugly quick even if you're 100% legal.
