We explore vital insights about how concealed carriers inform officers about their firearms, revealing that while more than 56% do notify, many only disclose their status under specific conditions. We discuss varied methods of informing officers, the implications for safety, and the complexities surrounding disarming incidents, where about 10% of respondents reported being asked to hand over their firearms. Our conversation also covers officer behaviors and citizen perceptions around citations, ultimately stressing the importance of documented experiences from our listeners to shed light on these critical encounters.
