Fair warning! If we happened to be in the same area and I get to the cop first, don't you try to have an encounter with my cop, HE IS MINE AND MINE ALONE.
Better bring a bigger donut, just in case.

The way I see it, if you're carrying and have no business with the LEO, don't need to tell me. If say, an eviction, traffic stop, etc., on official business, then yes. If you wave at me in QT, don't need to tell me.
What the hell's the big deal?? Just say "Sir, I'd like to inform you I'm carrying a concealed weapon". It would be much better then getting drawn down on or taken to the ground with a spinning arm bar. If I made contact with you while I was on duty and you didn't tell me that you were carrying I'd assume the worst and things would go downhill from there. Why can't people on this forum just use common sense?
This entire conversation begs the answer to one potential scenario:
You're in line at a conveinence store. A cop shows up in a plain car, and runs in for a can of skoal. You exchange niceties. Hello, how ya doing. Etc...
While ya'll are standing there in line, three arm thugs bust in, unaware of the cop standing in line behind you. They hollar "this is a stick up!"
If the cop starts shooting, can you as well? To offer help, especially if he's outgunned? Should you?
This is entirely dependant on whether you feel you are in imminent danger. You are not allowed to ever pull if it is to protect someone else, only yourself.
I have a great idea.How about using some common sense when encountering an LEO. Im sure if you will just think it through all will be well. Im sure Ill be told different here soon.

You should always tell an LEO that you are carrying a firearm.

If this could be applied, we probably wouldn't have eight pages of discussion on it.
