    Good info, but the far more likely interaction with law enforcement while cc is during a minor traffic stop. As I understand it, PA is a "no duty to inform" state. Proceed as you see fit under the circumstances. Most likely, Id keep my trap shut so as not to spook the cop and possibly have him disarm me, putting me at risk. If the officer asked me to step out of the car however, at that point I would inform.

    If carrying openly, keep in mind the Hawkins ruling for PA. Com. v. Hawkins, 692 A.2d 1068 (Pa. 1997)
