Is it required to notify law enforcement if you are carrying concealed with a Nevada CFP during a traffic stop?

Yes, immediately upon being stopped
No, unless asked
Yes, but only if the officer asks for identification
Only if the firearm is on your person

The correct answer is: No, unless asked

The requirement concerning notification to law enforcement during a traffic stop for individuals carrying a concealed firearm under a Nevada Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) is guided by Nevada's laws. The correct understanding is that there is no explicit obligation to inform the officer that you are carrying a concealed firearm unless you are directly asked. This aligns with the premise that the right to carry a firearm also includes the discretion regarding awareness of its presence unless it becomes relevant to the interaction. Understanding this context clarifies the relationship between the rights of permit holders and the duties of law enforcement. The purpose of not requiring immediate notification unless asked is to maintain a level of normalcy during routine traffic stops, so long as the firearm is not presented as a threat or concern.
