My father is a LEO and told me a long time ago to declare to avoid issues. However we have lived in many different states. I know Indiana does not require you to declare. I am not sure what I would do because I have not been stopped while carrying yet.
I figure for most stops though it should not ever really be an issue unless they specifically ask if you have any weapons or you end up being asked to exit the vehicle. I would think if you are holstered up it would be very wise to declare if you were being asked to exit the vehicle.
I get the feeling, though I've never been stopped, that informing would actually cause issues. If the LEO doesn't see it, and you are a law abiding citizen, then there won't be an issue. If the LEO becomes aware of the firearm, it seems to me that in most cases they want to disarm. Again, never been stopped, so I'm just assuming, and you know what that does
Anyone know what happened with this guy?
