Upon stopping by law enforcement, how should a CCDW licensee in Kentucky handle the situation?

Keep both hands on the wheel and inform the officer about the CCDW license
Attempt to hand the weapon to the officer for safety
Declare the weapon only if asked by the officer
Keep silent about carrying a concealed weapon unless directly asked

The correct answer is: Keep both hands on the wheel and inform the officer about the CCDW license

Upon being stopped by law enforcement, the most appropriate action for a CCDW licensee in Kentucky is to keep both hands on the wheel and immediately inform the officer about the license and the concealed weapon. This is to ensure the safety of both the officer and the licensee. Option B, attempting to hand the weapon to the officer, can be interpreted as a potential threat and may escalate the situation. Option C, only declaring the weapon if asked by the officer, may be seen as dishonest and can result in legal consequences. Option D, remaining silent about carrying a concealed weapon, can also lead to legal implications in some states. Thus, option A is the safest and most responsible way for a CCDW licensee to handle the situation.
