[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 1748061, member: 7292"] That is the question. I'm speaking of mentioning to the officer that you have a concealed carry permit when you aren't actually carrying (please keep the you should carry all the time comments to a minimum). I know the law says that you only have to declare that you are legally armed when you are armed but apparently some OHP don't like it if you don't tell them about your permit. In two separate traffic stops, one where I was speeding and another random insurance check, I had different results. One OHP told me I should have told him about my permit even though I wasn't carrying because he ran my info, saw I had a permit and then he had to check with me to ask if I was armed and I should have just told him up front. And at the other stop I told the officer I had a permit and he asked where my gun was and I said I didn't have it with me and he proceeds to scold me for bothering him with that information when it isn't relevant. So, I ask which is it? Shouldn't there be a policy to keep it uniform among officers across the state? Obviously I'm not trying to run afoul of the law and I will absolutely inform immediately if I'm actually carrying. I'm just trying to play nice. Help me out. [/QUOTE]
