Thank you doubletap...it is nice to hear someone stick up for law enforcement.

I would have MUCH RATHER had someone just tell me up front. Once I know they are legally CCW I can reasonably discern that they are probably less of a safety risk and probably a law-abiding citizen than others.

However, if you leave it up to the stopped officer and he happens to see a gun in your waistband that you have not told him about...don't blame the officer for drawing on you and removing the weapon from your person, even if only for the time being.

It is about going home to my wife and kids.
