(3) An individual licensed under this act to carry a concealed pistol and who is carrying a concealed pistol and who is stopped by a peace officer shall immediately disclose to the peace officer that he or she is carrying a pistol concealed upon his or her person or in his or her vehicle.
(2) Subject to section 5o and except as otherwise provided by law, a license to carry a concealed pistol issued by the county
concealed weapon licensing board authorizes the licensee to do all of the following:
(a) Carry a pistol concealed on or about his or her person anywhere in this state.
(b) Carry a pistol in a vehicle, whether concealed or not concealed, anywhere in this state.
Looking at those two laws.. I see no reason why I should have to disclose upon a traffic stop if I am openly-carrying my pistol.
The legislator makes a clear separation between 'concealing a pistol' and 'carrying a pistol in a vehicle' they even SPECIFY that you could possibly be carrying a pistol in a vehicle concealed OR not concealed.
The disclosure law ONLY applies if I am "CARRYING A CONCEALED PISTOL". It says nothing about "CARRYING A PISTOL IN A VEHICLE" and certainly nothing about "CARRYING A NON CONCEALED PISTOL IN A VEHICLE".
What's everyone think?
