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

Immediately inform the officer that you are armed
Attempt to hide your weapon from view
Only disclose if directly asked
None of the above

The correct answer is: Immediately inform the officer that you are armed

If you encounter law enforcement while carrying a concealed pistol, it is important to immediately inform the officer that you are armed. Attempting to hide your weapon or waiting until asked can be seen as suspicious or even threatening to the officer. It is always best to be open and honest with law enforcement to avoid causing any confusion or escalating the situation. Option B is incorrect because attempting to hide your weapon can be seen as an attempt to conceal it from the officer, which is illegal in some states. Option C is incorrect because it is not enough to only disclose if asked. By then, the officer may already feel threatened or uncertain of your intentions. Option D is incorrect because it is always necessary to comply with state laws and inform law enforcement that you are carrying a concealed weapon. Being transparent and upfront can help ensure a safe and lawful encounter with law enforcement.
