 I always identified myself and if the cop asked why that would matter, I'd
 say, "Because I have a loaded handgun on my hip and for your safety and
mine,
 I wanted to make you aware of it and the reason why I'm authorized to have
 it."
 
 Not much they could say to counter that. Cops use "officer safety" on the
 public at every turn. They can't very well claim officer safety suddenly
 doesn't matter when it's inconvenient for them.

Telling people you are armed can be seen as a threat.

Since we don't have uniforms and dress in plain clothes, it was literally my

yourself and advise that you're armed when encountering local law enforcement
