How to interact with a police officer(s)

After the introductions my next response is to let the officer know I have a firearm. He may or may not respond with where it’s located. He may or may not ask you to surrender the weapon to be placed on the roof of the car. I always hand the weapon butt first letting the officer know it’s not hot (chamber is empty). He may or may not ask to see my concealed permit. From there it gets on with business. On my part the conversation is cordial and respectful. Been my experience the officer will let you off with a warning.

I wouldn't do that unless he/she/they asks, if they search the car they will ask, at which point I would declare I have a weapon in the car. However laws and procedures vary depending on state. 2A is my right and not any of the LEOs business unless they ask if I have any weapons or contraband in the car. This is a link to the laws procedures in my state and i suggest everyone look up theirs in their state:Traffic Stop While Carrying in Pennsylvania - U.S. LawShield.

One of the most dangerous things for a police officer is a traffic stop. But under the law if you are carrying a firearm concealed or even openly in a car, you have no duty or requirement to announce to the police officer that you're carrying a firearm.

Being a legal firearm owner, it isn't as though I am going to shoot a cop for pulling me over.
