Here in Texas you must inform the LEO that you are carrying. You are also required to surrender your weapon if asked. Failure to do so on request is a crime.
I have only been stopped once for speeding in the last 5 years (for 6mph over) since obtaining my CCW. That officer asked where the weapon was and I told him it was in the console of the truck. He said "Ok, leave it there." that was the end of it. He asked me to step out of the vehicle but left my friend in the vehicle in the front passenger seat. At the end I just received a warning anyway.
I read someone's report that they had been asked by a State trooper where their weapon was and they answered "in the console". The Trooper then told them not to go into the console. He then asked for the proof of insurance and the driver said it was in the console. The Troopers answer...."I believe you."
HA. I keep forgetting to put my insurance form in the console.
