What action should you take if you are stopped by law enforcement while carrying concealed?

  1. Immediately inform the officer that you are carrying a concealed weapon

  2. Keep the information to yourself unless asked

  3. Hand your weapon to the officer for safety

  4. Only disclose if you are carrying a loaded firearm

The correct answer is: Immediately inform the officer that you are carrying a concealed weapon

If you are stopped by law enforcement while carrying a concealed weapon, immediately informing the officer is the best course of action. This shows respect for the officer's safety and also ensures that there are no surprises during the encounter. Keeping the information to yourself unless asked could be seen as suspicious and can escalate the situation. Handing your weapon to the officer for safety is not recommended as they may not be trained or comfortable handling firearms, and it is important for you to maintain control of your weapon. And while it may be legal to carry an unloaded firearm in some places, it is not recommended to only disclose if you are carrying a loaded firearm, as this may cause confusion and concern for the officer.
