I totally believe in my right to carry and my right to tell whomever I wish. But in this case the argument should not be about 'rights', but about common sense and safety combined. A police officer is doing his job, he has every right to be concerned if he is surprised by a weapon showing. I have every right to keep it concealed. But it seems to me as a caring human being, that it would suit us BOTH best to simpply say "I have a permit and I'm armed, what do wyou want me to do?' I went to extra troiuble to find a wallet with 3 windows for ID. Drivers license, work ID and CCP are readily viewable. Now, the problem is you have young, aggressive cops that are gungho, and looking for a fight. I'm still going to make us both safer by warning the officer- and if he takes my pistol, violates my rights, I'll pursue it appropriately later. Two men with loaded guns- not a good time to say 'You can't do that!! I have my rights!..' anything. IMHO
