That sounds like a diplomatic way to handle it.

I've had officers ask where the gun is, but never had them order me out of the car or had them even want to see it.

I have notified some deputies (that I shoot IDPA with) that I have a permit and I'm armed. And I can out shoot you for beer :o)

There's a somewhat Beavis and Butthead quality to the question: "Are you approaching me?" LOL!
