    I honestly have not deceided. I believe that it would depend on the exact circumstances at the time.

    I won't tell them...I'll just simply hand them both my ltcf and drivers license @ the same time. I'll let him ask..

    In some states you are required to tell LEOs that you are carrying.
    In PA, unless the law has recently changed, you don't have to tell them nothing.
    So, my answer is I have legal permit, I legally I don't have to tell 'em so I don't.

    After the experiences I have had with being upfront and telling the LEO right away I will never do it again!!!!

    When injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

    Depends on where my weapon is. If it's anywhere near where I would have to go to retrieve ID, registration, insurance, etc., then yes. Otherwise, probly not. Never have before.

    X 2. I was pulled over 2 weekends ago and realized the wifes gun was in the door. Had he asked me to get out, i would have told him, but he didnt ask me to get out so i saw know reason to get his blood pressure up.

    I would tell them just because the last thing you want is a jumpy LEO. They may not be so comfortable with you saying you are carrying and showing your LTCF but if they saw it or found it on their own, I'm guessing they would be much more jumpy.
