after having my permit for about 6 months i decided that no matter where i go or what car/bike i ride, i'm going to have my gun on me. I have never gotten a ticket and had a cop rush up to my cars asking if i have a gun on me, nor have they ever asked to search the vehicle. . I do know i have to tell them, but then again, no you don't. Like i don't have to tell them i have on boxer briefs either. But i'm not one to drive way over the speed limit or drive drunk or just do anything brilliant. I've had my permit almost a year now and none of these things have ever happened nor will they.. if you are a person of suspicion, and or are always in trouble, that would be different. But if i'm driving to MD i'm not gonna go out to my car and make sure there's nothing in it. If i have to defend myself, i will cross that bridge just as if i were in DE.
