    Default Searched, but found dated posts - is PA still a "no duty to inform" state?

    Been carrying for 2+ months and trying to learn the laws/keep updated. Searched, but posts I found were dated/a few years old. Is PA still state where you DO NOT have to inform police that you are carrying during a traffic stop?

    I have watched/read that you should hand over LTCP with divers license/insurance card. But re-thinking my right to privacy.

    Correct, you have no duty to inform.
    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.

    There is no legal requirement to tell a cop, and I wouldn't.

    I would bring it up if I thought it were likely he would see my gun or if I was asked to get out of the car. "I have License to Carry." I wouldn't say "Gun" or "Firearm."

    Inform at your own risk. Some cops are cool with it. Some aren't. Is it worth taking the chance?

    You could probably Google a list.

    I just try to have a general understanding of the states bordering ours (which aint a complicated task for PA) and whenever I travel I look up and print out the laws for all of the states I might be in.
