Need to Notify????

[Leader]

Is there anyplace on the net that has a list of the states that require you to notify police you have a permit & are armed when stopped.
I will be taking a trip soon through 7 states & would like to find the info in one place rather then go to each states home page & try to find the gun laws there.

Not sure if this will help but check this site and click on the click and go trip planner on the left side.

Let's see. I've just been stopped by LE. Let me think... What state am I driving in today? Do I have to declare? All this stress and I'm able to remember the rules here. Unlikely

When we train we learn techniques to take care of possible firearm faults. Methods have been developed to cover the most situations and require minimum analysis under stress.

Therefore, for me, I'm always going to turn on the interior lights, have my hands on the steering wheel, declare my CCW and my armed status. One method to cover all situations.

+1

Besides the moment LEO asks "are you carrying any weapons, needels....." you've got to answer him.

Try this. http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws/

Also try this site. It's pretty comprehensive:

That trip planner pretty much does the same thing our own Multi-State permit map does. Also, most of our State pages have a section for Informing Law Enforcement of Carry:. We're trying to wrap up the last of the states as we speak.

Which states will you be traveling in?

Here is our Texas Page which lists:

Informing Law Enforcement of Carry:
If a license holder is carrying a handgun on or about the license holder's person when a magistrate or a peace officer demands that the license holder display identification, the license holder shall display both the license holder's driver's license or identification certificate issued by the department and the license holder's handgun license. A person who fails or refuses to display the license and identification as required by this subsection is subject to suspension of the person's license as provided by Section 411.187.

So basically if the LEO asks for your ID, go ahead and give him both.
