I was on my way down to Florida when I decided to hold a two car insurance seminar on I-75, "Deputy Fife" was the first to arrive on scene with Tift Co Sheriff's and I handed him both my DL and GWL. He did not seem to care at all about that I was "packing" as he did not even ask if I had it on me when he handed back the GWL. Maybe he wasn't really concerned due to the fact that he was not working the accident. I stood with him for about thirty minutes waiting for the GSP Officer who was working it to make it back to me for my side of the story, and as soon as he did pull up I stated that I was unsure if he had been informed and handed him the GWL. He did ask if I had it on me at that time, which I responded yes and told him exactly where it was located, and he handed back my GWL and stated "Ok, don't show me yours and I won't show you mine". That of course got a grin out of both of us and we continued on with the seminar.
I am aware that that I did not have to inform any of the officers that I was carrying, but I knew that at some point I was going to move in a manner that would expose my firearm, and I really did not feel like having one pointed at me at that time. Of course at some point I did end up exposing and the second GSP officer quietly said "You may want to fix yourself" as my shirt got caught behind the grip as I was stretching across my car to access my dash-cam for him.
Overall great experience even considering the reason I had to deal with LE.
