There is no legal requirement to inform an officer that you have a CCW permit or are lawfully carrying. There has been much debate as to whether someone should do this. I think it depends on the situation. If the encounter is incidental and consensual, i.e. no criminal activity involved, then I don't think it necessary to inform the officer. If there is actually a lawful stop, it might be wise to inform the officer that you are a licensed concealed handgun permit holder and have a firearm on your person. That will accomplish two things that will immediately tell the officer you are not a threat--you TOLD him you have a gun and that you are licensed.

This was taken from another forum as it says it better than I would have. I always tell an officer that I am carrying so he doesnt see it when I move or something. I do not tell them not am I required by the law to tell them that I have a permit and not carrying. I think that you might want to get a hold of that officers Sgt. and have him inform the officer of the correct law requirements and how to best deal with the public on this.
