    As a law enforcement officer I fully support the right of any law abiding citizen to carry a concealed weapon. However I think that a provision to this law should be that anytime a person is detained or otherwise ’stopped’ by the police that they have a legal duty to inform the officer that they are carrying a weapon. This is for our safety and so that there are no surprises. Just my two cents.
