Oregon Law requires you to have your Drivers License and Handgun License ready for the officer when he gets to your window. You are to inform him that you are carrying and tell him where the weapon is. If your gun had been visable, that makes it easier to reach and you most likely would have been pulled out at gunpoint.
Bad advice my friend.

Dude I never even had the chance to say anything until my teeth were in the trunk lid, The officer told me in his little lecture if the pistol was in the holster on the seat or floor of my car that would be prefered. Just going off what he told me.
I do know that the law for my county says that if you have the permit any pistols must be on the permit holders person or the permit holder must be in the vehicle at all times that the pistol is there. It does not have to be "concealed" from view unless you are away from the vehicle and leave the pistol there.
