"“The fatal shooting of Philando Castile last year by a Minnesota police officer reinvigorated an old debate about how people who are licensed to carry a concealed weapon (CCW) should handle interactions with the cops. The officer, who was acquitted of manslaughter in June, panicked during a traffic stop after Castile, a CCW licensee, told him he was armed.
Some gun owners argue that disclosure is considerate and prudent, while others worry it will escalate a routine traffic stop into a tense, unpleasant, and possibly life-threatening encounter. But virtually everyone agrees it's important to know the relevant legal requirements, which vary from state to state.”" FROM REASON.COM
Good info for traveling concealed carrying people.
It should be everwhere that you tell immediate.. The officer must secure the scene quickly and informing of this fact could help easy with them knowing you are working with them from the start... It just comes down to it makes a safer enviroment for both parties... We back the Blue

True. But "I'm armed." is hardly a non-adversarial way to start a conversation. Could be troublesome to a new officer not expecting to hear that.

No .. That is definitly not the way to approach the issue... But as the office is walking up .. You anounce " Officer I want to let you know I carrying a firearm " , lets him know where to start... It also shows cooperate and respect
