I remember my first time pulled over with a firearm. Had my CCW and it is legal to carry in you car with out permit in CO. I knew I wasn't breaking any laws. The gun was wedged between the seat and console. The officer on my side couldn't see the gun, but his partner would be able to if he peeked in.

I started shaking nervously as soon as the officer said "Hello" and didn't stop shaking until a few minutes after the stop was concluded. Much the same reaction I had when I was pulled over for the first time ever.

Good post, I follow all of those helpful points already and they have never led me astray.

I'm person type 1.5, sometimes I think it is better the officer be informed, other times I see no reason to. Depends on the situation.
