I don't know each state's requirements. I could find out by going to the State website and reading their law., or I could be safe, hand the Officer my D.L. and my CHL at the same time, and tell him I was armed. That would eliminate any breaking of any law. As a retired cop, I always appreciated citizens who told me they were armed. That told me that they posed no threat to me, in 99.9% of the times they told me. I dont mind telling any cop I come into contact with when the contact is official. If we just are chatting and saying"hello, nice day, its hot today," I do not tell them I am armed. its not an official contact.
