After all, its not a LAW. Its an administrative RULE. And the penalty comes not from the officers themselves but from PSD in the form of revocation. If we write an articulable bright line and submit it to them (preferably after things calm down a bit with the leadership situation) they MIGHT give us a "Yes. That is the threshold at which point we expect A CCW holder to inform an officer he is carrying, and we wont pull a permit if the CCW holder fails to inform the officer for LESS formal interactions than that.-"
All you would need to do is make it a requirement during "official" contact (as in the execution of the LEO's duties) and not ALL contact (talking about the weather while in line at Starbucks).
