I would and have announced (it's the LAW here). Both hands never leave the 10 & 2 on steering wheel, drivers window down before stopping, dome light on if nighttime. Do not reach for anything and follow all the officers instructions explicitly from the start through the conclusion of the event.

I would not be afraid to ask an officer if he would feel safer handcuffing me until a resolution was reached. Some people here will probably take a high offense to that statement, but it wouldn't upset me one bit.

Everyone needs to go home safe tonight, NO ACCIDENTS PLEASE.

P.S. I always have a copy of the Ohio Attorney Generals CCW Laws booklet in my automobile, just in case someone would need to clarify something. If you travel you should have printouts of the state laws of all the states with reciprocity that you travel through, know them and respect them.
