I think Navy was trying to point out the hypocrisy of sharing carry info with cops. If taxi drivers are more likley to be shot, wouldn't they have a more vested interest in knowing about potential threats than even police do?
I know a lot of people who advocate that it is "polite", "responsible", and "the right thing to do" to inform a police officer during a stop of your CPL (Concealed Pistol License) and your firearm if you are carrying for "officer safety", "because they just want to go home safe at night" and some even say it "makes it safer for both the police officer and the gun carrier".
So, my question is this, especially to those who say that you should notify police officers, even when the law does not require it:
Would you notify a taxicab driver and provide them with you CPL if you were taking a taxi somewhere while armed?
Unless it is needed for what ever legal reason, I follow the don't ask, don't tell policy. Unless I am pulled over by a police officer or I need to pull it for what ever lawful reason, I do not tell. Saves problems
But if I did ask: I'd take any refusal to answer as a big "YES" with a Neon Marquee pointing the way. I don't think I'm alone in this line of thinking. Think it through: Why else would they (or you) refuse to answer.
