The correct answer is: Notification must be made any time an officer approaches you in an official capacity

In Ohio, it is a legal requirement to notify law enforcement anytime they approach you in an official capacity while carrying a concealed weapon. This means that you must inform them during traffic stops, but also any other interaction with law enforcement, such as being stopped on the street or in a building. Option A is incorrect because while notification is required during traffic stops, it is also required in other situations. Option C is incorrect because notification is indeed required under Ohio law. Option D is incorrect because notification is required when carrying a concealed weapon, regardless of whether it is carried openly or not.
