Hello, this is my first post. It is aimed mostly to those of you in Missouri. I will hopefully get to the rest of you in the other 49 in later posts.
Question: A Missouri CCW holder is pulled over for speeding. The officer writes the ticket and is about to leave. At the last second, the officer turns and says, "You have a CCW. Are you carrying tonight?"
Are we required to answer in MO? I seem to remember that we did not, but I wanted to double check. Also, are we required to announce that we have a weapon? Obviously, if you are about to open your glove box to get documents, and you have a visible weapon in there, it should be announced, but otherwise, there is not a requirement to announce in MO, is there?
Thanks.
