[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1749089, member: 24428"] OUShooter, it isn't a matter of making the officer's job easier... you are mandated by law to notify the officer if you are pulled over in his official capacity as a LEO. I have a scanner running 24 / 7 / 365 at the house... so I hear a lot of traffic stops being made by the area police / sheriff & Highway Patrol.. and them asking for DL, Tag and insurance verification info. On a few occasions, I've heard the dispatcher notify the officer that the return showed the driver has a CC Permit. The dispatchers also lets the officer[s] know if the person is flagged as a drug court offender, a known gang member [and which gang they are affiliated with] or a registered sex offender. But this automatic CC notification to the officer only applies to Oklahoma CC permits as far as I know... I don't recall other states CC info popping up like that. I have heard officers asking the dispater to check with another state to see if a out-of-state CC permit was still valid or not. I think it goes to show just how law abiding that CC permit holders are.. because it is very rare to hear that a CC permit holder has been stopped for something serious. I remember one instance of a guy being stopped & arrested for a DUI... and he had his permit and a gun inside the vehicle. And I don't recall but 1 or 2 instances where someone from another state had a issue with their permit such as it being out of date or they had moved and not made a address change notification to their home state. As for notification of your being a permit holder [U][/U][B]and are carrying[/B], if your contact with the officer is [NOT] in any official capacity, then you are [U]NOT[/U] under any legal obligation to disclose you are carrying a firearm or that you are a permit holder. Say for instance, your standing in a checkout line and a uniformed officer is standing next to you and you happen to engage in small talk / chit-chat... you are under no obligation to disclose that you are carrying or are a permit holder. Same way when eating in a restaurant.. if the officer is in uniform and sitting near you and you happen to nod and say hello or exchange small talk... you don't have to disclose you are carrying or that you are a permit holder.. you are only required to disclose if you are having contact with the officer in his official capacity as a LEO... such as a traffic stop, investigating a call, asking for witness info and so on.
