My neighbors house was robbed tonight so we were over at her house with her waiting for the police to show up (about an hour and a half wait). My question is...am I obligated to mention to the officer that I am carrying if he at no point speaks with me? I technically was in no way associated with her or the robbery so he really has no reason to say anything to me. I am just one of the people in the group with her in front of her house. Anyone know if this is correct or do I need to go out of my way to tell the officer I am carrying even though his business does not involve me in any way?
I would think not.Why would you unless asked?Or they happen to see it.Youre doing everything legal you should be-its concealed.Unless you feel weird having a concealed firearm on you in the presence of a bunch of cops.
yeah there is nothing wrong with that.......you are legal........nothing to hide........if asked tell them if not let it be
Doesn't say that you have to during any other interaction ... but I'm no lawyer.
Back when I was working, I was riding the transporter train around DFW airport going to my next plane. On board were several off duty police officers, they were wearing name badges and carrying stuff that made it clear they were traveling on business while not in uniform.
I was curious about the business of informing police about being armed when in a non-official setting (ie I was not being stopped, or otherwise was not a subject of interest). They pointed out that I did not need to advise the police in such a circumstance.

The rule of thumb is to alert them anytime your ID is required, and of course to tell them if they ask.
+1 and on the routine traffic, detainment, etc
