Was pulled over monday at 2am on my way back to school from break for a headlight out
Cop was very pleasant for that time of night. Had a big smile when I replied to the "do you know why I pulled you over?" question. Was honest and told him because I knew it was out. He let me off with a warning
The subject of firearms never came up, and I feel no reason to volunteer that information. If he had asked, I would have told him truthfully that I was. If a cop is obviously not the pleasant type, I would consider either lying or not answering the question (neither of which is against the law).
My cop buddy also told me that they will get a CCW hit on a plate even if there is a CCW holder with a name similar to yours, or with the same address. For example, my brothers and my parents will get a CCW hit on their plates even though I am the only one with a CCW. So just because they do get a CCW hit when pulling you over, doesn't mean they know you are carrying, or even if you have a CCW for sure...
