Its very common for OHP to ask you to come back to there car. Been there done that. As for the weapon. Officer has every right to have you remove the weapon.
handing your dl and permit to the officer is all that is needed.
Negative. Handing over a card does not "identify the fact that the person is in actual possession of a concealed handgun" which is what the notification law states.
well you don't show your card or notify if you don't have a weapon right. Sadly I have tested this and all 3 or 4 officers have all been a-ok with the way I handled it. to each his own.
10-4 stephen, just making the point, that the officer can assume that I have a weapon if I hand him the card with my dl. His next question has been where? Only one has taken time to remove the weapon and that is because it was in the console with kids in the car, and he had asked me to exit the vehicle. I would assume he removed it due to the children in the car. I believe my manner of handing the officer lets him know I am ccw, have a weapon and am no threat to him, by not throwing the course of things off by making some big legal statement. Officer is in charge, sets the tone, asks questions and away we go. Been that way all occasions. Keeping things simple is what I suggest. If that means to you that you have to make a formal statement, then by golly recite it all you want. Just don't want anyone to think it is the only way it has to be.
However, if you guys are in a spot where officer is in a heightened state of rediness....not a simple side of the road chat, then maybe....for example your friend unbeknown to you has a warrant and a warrant team kicks in the door or you are having dinner out and some jack hole does something to get the police involved. Then maybe a nice statement as suggested might be a Very wise move.
