...unless you're dealing with the Canton, Ohio PD. In THAT case he'll PREVENT you from notifying, THEN threaten to murder you, THEN arrest you for not doing what he prevented you from doing.Politely informing LEO that you are armed, and letting him/her know the exact location of the weapon is the best way to avoid a "dramatic over reaction" on the part of the officer.
And hopefully Officer Harless will be almost singlehandedly responsible for Ohio law to be the same.+1 with Pinnacle Safety and Rich M! Don't ask, don't tell - that's my state law and my personal preference.
in texas its required, but i believe they changed the law to this???? not sure, but id inform anyways, u know a cop has a gun and the last thing id want to do is be patted down then meet the ground or my car or his muzzle cause it spooked him or whatever cause he didnt know i had it. so id inform not only cause i have to, but might as well keep it calm, and civil to start with. i have cops in the family so i highly respect their thankless job and will do whatever i can to keep my end of the situation calm and respectful.
Mandatory notification is an utterly pointless exercise.It is the law in Nebraska, and I have no problem with it.

It's okay for him to act within the confines of the law.Say you don't inform until he asks, do you think its okay for a police officer to treat you differently after he found out you legally obtained a firearm and legally can carry it?

I don't need for cops to like me. Them obeying the law is more than enough.
If a cop gets "worked up" by LAWFUL activity, he needs to find another field of endeavor.officers better act within the law or they should not be officers. I was asking this question towards those that think informing the officer is good whether or not it is required because they don't want the officer to get worked up.

Before I started carrying full time, I was asked a couple of times (at traffic stops) if I was carrying.
I've had my Nevada, Utah and Florida licenses for close to nine years now but really started carrying full time about 4-years ago; after my 84-year old next door neighbor was home invaded and a month or so later, an officer was shot in my backyard (his partner shot and killed the perp and the officer ended up fine after nearly dieing from a shot to the femoral artery).
If you've got nothing to hide, there's no reason not to tell them.
