I recently spoke with my local sheriff who told me that a mom driving a minivan displaying NRA and Daniel Defense stickers in the back window wouldn’t concern him very much, but that it’s crucial for everyone to keep their hands visible to law enforcement (at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel) until directed otherwise. Personally, I keep my drivers license and concealed carry permit on my visor when I’m carrying on my person to ensure they’re ready to hand law enforcement should they approach my vehicle for any reason.

Would you add any pointers for other concealed carry permit holders?
What’s your plan for how to react to a potential traffic stop?
