I'm divided in getting a CCW permit. I travel through different states which do recognize out of state CCW permits or just frown on carrying a weapon for self defense. What if I am pulled over for a traffic violation and the officer runs my tags, notices that I have a CCW permit, which is not recognized and asks me if I'm carrying. What do you say if you have a pistol in the car? Would I be better off not having a CCW permit to bring attention to myself, especially when I travel? Better to appear to be a unarmed victim in a anti-gun state?
