Three times? Given that, do you still think it's a good idea to announce you are armed if the LEO doesn't ask?

Thread slipped my mind, but here's my reply: yes.
Here's my reasoning, and I am honestly interested in anyone's replies.
I carry in what I refer to as "OC lite", which is my FNP45 with a light, OWB, but with my shirt covering it. Mega-print city. when I'm in my vehicle, I usually shove my shirt behind the gun, exposing it, in case I need it rapidly and can't take my left hand off the wheel. So, basically, I'm open carrying when driving.
I inform because if the officer, or a trainee, or a backup officer just happens to approach from the passenger side, there's a better than 90% chance they're going to see it anyway, so I'd just as soon make everyone aware, opposed to it being noticed right about the time I'm getting my registration out of the console and, as some would say, "hilarity ensues".
