I have been in Law Enforcement for over 25 years. Most of the people that I have stopped usually inform me that they have a CCW to carry. I would prefer that they tell me where the weapon is, but if they don't, no problem, I just become more aware of what they are doing. Here in Alabama almost everyone carries with a permit or not. If they don't have a CCCW then I do what I have to do. After working for years as one of only 2 deputies on the night shift, and your backup could be 30 minutes away no matter how fast they drive you tend to become more aware of what's going on during a traffic stop and you act accordingly .After all, my main focus is me getting home safe, not you..
