I agree with you and I apologize for not making my statement clearer. The idea of letting the police know is for their benefit, and as another poster stated any police officer who does not approach a situation with the thought that weapons are involved/around(doesn't have to be a gun)is a fool.AWB
I understand what you said and I have no problem with helping the police. I just don't see how knowing that an honest citizen may be carrying benefits a cop in any way, unless the cop is anti2amendment and likes harassing CCW permit holders. Most policemen are honest and decent people doing a nasty job and have my respect. A small minority are power drunk jerks and probably shouldn't be in public at all, much less with a gun and badge.
