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

  1. Keep your hands in plain sight and inform the officer you have a permit

  2. Immediately reach for your permit to show the officer

  3. Do nothing unless asked

  4. Declare you have a gun without being asked

The correct answer is: Keep your hands in plain sight and inform the officer you have a permit

When stopped by law enforcement while carrying concealed, it is important to keep your hands in plain sight and inform the officer that you have a permit. This not only helps the officer feel more at ease, but it also shows that you are a responsible and law-abiding gun owner. Option B is incorrect because reaching for your permit too quickly may make the officer feel threatened. Option C is incorrect because it may be seen as uncooperative behavior. Option D is incorrect because it is unnecessary and potentially dangerous to declare you have a gun without being asked.
