I'm not a conceal carry,yet. I do however carry in my vehicle and if a cop ever pulled me over i would notify him that i do indeed have one in the vehicle.
Help me out here though if you are in the know.
Non conceal carry in a vehicle = Don't have to tell a cop shite.Can have the gun stored anywhere in the vehicle,out of sight.
Conceal carry = must notify cop that there's a gun in the vehicle.

Where do you live? I live in Ohio right now and there are some pretty strict laws regarding guns in vehicles here.

You dont have to notify the police officer unless the firearm is on you.
I have always, and will always, step out of the vehicle when pulled over. I have heard different stances from different buddies in different branches of law enforcement on that subject, but me - i step out of the truck w liscense, registration & proof of insurance. It is close by and i can reach them very quickly.

All of my experiences being pulled over went a lot better when I told them right of the bat that I had a gun in my truck rather than when I had waited.
No reason not to tell them right away if you are a God-fearing, hard working, honest American. Which I am.

Why would you tell an officer you had a gun unless he asks? I don't get pulled over often, but when I do it's usually tint at a inspection sticker checkpoint. I give the officer my information and he gives me a ticket. Done deal.

When I get pulled over, I tell them my paperwork is in my glove box and I have a loaded gun in there. They ask me to get out and they get it themselves. Never had an issue, even with NOPD.
If I have a long gun I don't worry about it. I don't think any policeman is too worried about me quick drawing him with my duck gun, and it's in plain sight so he already sees it.

Not trying to make a joke or be an a-hole, but are you a convicted felon?
How can you legally own a gun, much less get a ccw?

I think telling the cop you have a gun depends on the situation. The one time I told a trooper I had a gun on a traffic stop he said "why would I care unless you are planning to pull it" He just wanted to write a ticket and move on...

You are allowed to have a loaded pistol in your car within reach without a CCW permit? Alabama gun laws are pretty favorable to gun owners for the most part but that is illegal as shite around here.

I've never outright told them, but I have handed over my GFL (Georgia) with my license and the cop looked it over, handed it back and said "thanks, but I won't need this."
Never asked me anything else about it. I've also had a couple of wrecks where I was not at fault (not that it matters) and I haven't mentioned it because it just didn't seem necessary at the time.

Still not a CCP holder. LSP has fricked up my paper work twice.
My pistol rides next to me in the jeep between the pbrake and shifter when I'm in Louisiana. In Texas, it rides under my seat or inside the center console if I have the doors off. I don't get pulled over because I don't break traffic laws. I honestly don't know what I would tell a cop if I was pulled over for something.
Last weekend, I kind of freaked out the valets at the hotel in Austin. I got out grabbed my pistol and moved it to my "trunk". It's a Tuffy locking trunk in the floorboard. I locked it up and gave him my valet key. I didn't even think about it because that's what I do every time I valet. When I looked up after locking it both of the young Latino men were just kind of staring at me all wide-eyed.
ETA: I feel kind of bad for that.

I also roll the window down, turn off the ignition and put the keys on top of the dashboard. I get my papers ready while the LEO is in his car running my plates.
Basically, I follow the lead of the LEO. When he wants me to pull over, he'll hit me w/ his lights. If he wants me to step out of the vehicle, he'll ask me to do so. If he wants to know if I have a gun in the vehicle, he'll ask me.
OTOH, when I'mv carrying concealed, I hand my cc card to the LEO w/ my driver's license w/o announcing it to him. I travel in a number of different states and I find it easier to do same thing in each state as opposed to trying to remember whether the state I'm in a "must inform" state or not.
