How to handle yourself during Traffic Stops while carrying concealed in your car. Here is a run down of what to say, how to behave and conduct yourself.

1. Concealed Carrying and Dealing with Traffic Stops

2. What do I do when this happens?

3. 1

4. Legal Possession
Don’t travel to places outside of your
permit’s jurisdiction.
Your permit to carry is a worthless piece
of paper if you travel somewhere outside
of its jurisdiction

5. 2

6. Pull Over Quickly
Trying to play cat-and mouse will make a
police officer suspect you of hiding
something.
Don’t give a police officer any excuse to
distrust what you say.

7. 3

8. Patiently Wait in Vehicle
Do not get out of your vehicle for any
reason, even if the officer is taking a long
time to leave their vehicle.
They are most likely just running your
tags to check if the vehicle is stolen.

9. 4

10. Be Polite and Cooperative
Keep your hands on the wheel, turn your
dome light on, and converse politely.
Don’t make quick movements and make
sure your passengers remain silent
unless they are spoken to.

11. 5

12. Identify You are Carrying
Some states will have the officer
explicitly ask if you are carrying, tell the
truth
Even if they don’t ask, it’s most likely
prudent to tell them.

13. 6

14. After Explaining You are Carrying
Keep your body, and especially your
hands still, inform the officer where your
gun and paperwork are.
Wait for the explicit instructions from the
officer.

15. 7

16. Follow Directions
The officer has to confirm you are carrying, they
may ask you to hand them the firearm or they
might take it themselves
They are concerned about their safety as well as
yours. You might still get a ticket for the reason
you were stopped, but it’s better than a hostile
interaction with an officer.
