Should people with CCW permits be stopped when cops can tell they are carrying?

I notice evidence of concealed guns all the time here in Louisiana. I see them all the time at events downtown. Almost always white males between the ages of 30 and 55. Should cops detain them just to make sure

Your answer is in the law. If you called the police and said you saw a white male 30 to 55 carrying a concealed gun they could legally disarm him and pat him down. It's a condition that CCH permit holders agree to.

"A permittee armed with a handgun in accordance with this Section shall notify any police officer who approaches the permittee in an official manner or with an identified official purpose that he has a weapon on his person, submit to a pat down, and allow the officer to temporarily disarm him..."
