This was in 2011 when I took the class. He said it was better to not tell them right away that you have a gun because that could make them freak out and turn a routine stop into a big production. Telling the cop you have a gun on you might make the cop cuff but might not. The instructor basically was giving us a heads up that the police are not always going to be cool with you tellling them you are armed.
