Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Let's talk a little bit about your duty to inform law enforcement. In some states, you must immediately notify the police that you're armed.

[00:00:10]And in other states, you have no obligation to tell them anything. So, let's hit the key points.

[00:00:15]Some states equal mandatory disclosure.

[00:00:18]Some states equal only if asked. Some states have no duty at all. But, getting this wrong can turn a lawful stop into a criminal charge. Before you carry, know your state's duty to inform. Silence can be legal, or it can be a big mistake.
