Re: Traffic stop, but don’t want passenger to know you carry?

I've never ran into that situation, as I dont have a CHL yet, but I have thought about it.. Most people that are with me could care less. Though I do know several people who flat dont like guns.. I personally thing that once the LEO see's the card, just tell him it's on your 3 o' clock and hope the word gun isnt mentioned.. A note, I think it would cause problems..

The suggestion of just having the other person drive their vehicle, I feel is a bad idea if they dont know your carrying. Every time I've rode with someone and been pulled over, I'm asked to hand over my ID and such.. That could be a very bad idea depending on the person, even more so if they are anti's, but even a gun person may raise a fit that you have a firearm on your person while in their vehicle. If you ride with someone, I feel you should tell them you are carrying, otherwise you may have bigger things to worry about than them finding out after being pulled over.

Many of the DPS I've ran into, will get on the PA and ask you to step out of the vehicle. Some of the lazy one's have actually asked me to bring all my info and come sit in the car with them HAHAHA, doesn't bother me, I get to check out all the goodies in the car.. But it's happened several times. NEVER get out unless asked or told to do so. Dont take off your seat belt either ( ask me how I figured that one out ).. Just pull over, shut the engine off, and turn your hazards on, nothing else.

I think the best thing to do is either tell them the location of the firearm, or just tell them you are unarmed when they look at the CHL..
