I agree.. I've been pulled over twice while carrying. One cop freaked out and one cop was cool as a cucumber about it.The state police website states "when any peace officer approaches a permittee in an official manner or with an identified purpose, the permittee shall" notify him he's carrying a weapon, submit to a pat down, and allow the officer to temporarily disarm you.
Personally, I would consider a traffic stop to be an official manner, and wouldn't matter if I was the driver or passenger.
As a concealed carrier, I have duty to inform and produce ID if stopped. I don't recall seeing anything that gives me the option to disregard this rule if I don't agree with the reason for being stopped.
