And I think it was totally unnecessary. For one reason or another, I've had probably a half-dozen such encounters in the last year. Something like I'm working late at the church and an officer stops by to check and we chat a while. I have never mentioned or thought the need to inform him I was carrying. If it doesn't require him asking for my ID, he has no need to know.texanjoker wrote:I say you did the right thingun0fficial wrote:Oh I know, it was just in the "moment" my brain went "uhhh duhhhh hurr durr".
But out of courtesy I went ahead and told them. It was kinda one of those "If I was them, I'd like to know" situations.
From the story, it seems as if the officers got neverous *after* you told them you were carrying. So things were better before.
