Ga doesn't require that you in form, but I often do.
My neighbor and I were out for our morning walk. A "black & white" rolled up and asked what we were up to. I stated "I'm carrying, 1 o clock." With my hands half raised. The LEO replied "got a permit?" my neighbor said "yep, so do I, mines SOB."
The oficer relaxed down into her seat and we chatted for a few.
My point is, always show respect for the LEO. Its better they find out early.
My work brings me into contact with a lot of officers. I usually inform when it quiet.
One knight after securing a building after a breakin, I told the investigating officer I was armed and permited. He told me "just keep it holstered." I think he was a bit suprised though when the other 3 guys an 1 gal all started pointing to various places and asking "do you need to see our permits" !!!!
However YMMV, this is Ga not Il,Oh,etc.
