Yes. When you acquire a concealed carry license the status of your license to carry is associated with your driver's license and vehicle registration through the LEADS (Law Enforcement Automated Data System) database used by every law enforcement agency in the state of Ohio.

If you are in your vehicle and pulled over the officer likely already knows you're carrying a firearm and will likely be expecting you to admit to it as he or she approaches. This fact does not eliminate your obligation to notify law enforcement immediately upon contact during a traffic stop.

It is a very good idea to share this information with anyone who may borrow or drive your vehicle regularly.
