What action is recommended if your concealed pistol is seen by another person in public?

  1. Explain that you have a CPL

  2. Immediately leave the area

  3. Secure the pistol in a less noticeable manner

  4. Notify local law enforcement

The correct answer is: Secure the pistol in a less noticeable manner

If your concealed pistol is seen by another person in public, it is recommended to secure the pistol in a less noticeable manner. This is because brandishing a firearm in public, even if it is concealed, can be seen as a threat and cause alarm to others. It is important to avoid causing unnecessary panic or fear. Explaining that you have a CPL may not be sufficient, as some people may still feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Immediately leaving the area may also cause alarm and make others think that you are trying to escape or hide something. Lastly, notifying local law enforcement should only be done in an emergency or if the situation escalates.
