I never have the gun on my person when in a vehicle.....always under the seat or in the trunk...on the few times it has happened.....I always keep my hands in plain view...I tell the cop where the weapon is (only if under the seat) and I ask him it would be OK for me to reach into my pocket for my wallet containing my license and glove box for the registration....I leave it up to the cop to proceed in the manner he feels safest....never had a problem and one cop even thanked me for "playing it smart"..

The killing of a citizen pulled over for a missing taillight in St. Paul last night has started a discussion in some places about exactly what you should say to a cop when you have a legal gun in, say, your glove compartment when you are pulled over. It seems most concealed carry courses recommend you immediately inform the cop of the presence of a legal gun. But others are saying DO NOT tell the cop UNLESS he threatens to search your car. FYI here's the protocol taught in NC (non-relevant stuff omitted) "DO'S AND DON'TS" OF CARRYING A CONCEALED HANDGUN 1. Your permit to carry a concealed handgun must be carried along with valid identification whenever the handgun is being carried concealed. 2. When approached or addressed by any officer, you must disclose the fact that you have a valid concealed handgun permit and inform the officer that you are in possession of a concealed handgun. You should not attempt to draw or display either your weapon or your permit for the officer unless and until he/she directs you to do so. Your hands are to be kept in plain view and you are not to make any sudden movements. 3. At the request of any law enforcement officer, you must display both the permit and valid identification. 8. If you are in a vehicle and stopped by a law enforcement officer, you should put both hands on the steering wheel, announce you are in possession of a concealed handgun, and state where you have it concealed and that you are in possession of a permit. Do not remove your hands from the wheel until instructed to do so by the officer.
