It had occurred to me that when stopped or ID is demanded and you are carrying, you are required by law to present both but I have not seen any kind of similar requirements for MPA. It was really starting to wear on me when the law changed removing the penalty portion of the ID law. So, okay.
Anytime you are interacting with an LEO the tone of the encounter will be largely set by your attitude. Disclosing your armed MAY make the encounter a lot less contentious whether or not there is a duty issue at hand.

When you are polite and cooperative with an officer, he will be much more inclined to release you with a warning. When you obstruct him or irritate him, he will be much more inclined to arrest you. This may not be nice or fair or even right, but cops are humans with human emotions. That is the real world.
