Just let the officer know that you are carrying a concealed weapon and tell the officer where it is located on your person. It's obvious to tell you that while you're advising the officer, keep your hands plainly visible. Jsut remember, the least amount of surprises, the better.

You know I have to comment on this. If it ended up "Cuffed and stuffed" because I lawfully had a CW on me (I see you are in AZ so you must know I am not required to tell you I am carrying) I promise you that would be a CLM on your part. Now that being said IF I get pulled over when I hand the officer my license I also hand him my CCW card and if that doesn't serve as notice that I armed I suggest a different line of work is in order for that cowboy. A badge does not give you the right to infringe on someones constitutional rights UNLESS you are conducting a "lawful" felony stop then all bets are off and I do not have a problem with an LEO doing what he needs to do to make sure there are no surprises. Sorry if this offends anyone but I get defensive when I see someone talking about abusing there official position and banking on a citizens ignorants to the law.
