Exactly. So if, for some reason :emoticon7:, I get pulled over and am carrying concealed in my car (say, the glove box or center console), what is the appropriate course of action to keep from alarming the officer?
Should I inform them immediately that I have a firearm in the car, or should I just go about the stop as I normally would if there were no firearm in the car?
