I'm not sure if letting someone know that you have a weapon (and its position on your body) is wise, but if it's a legal way to diffuse a potential hostile situation, should it be used?

I'm not a Cop anymore. But when I was. If I see a Weapon on you. I am drawing down on you. You will get one warning. If you make one hesitant move or don't obey my commands immediately. You will most likely get shot. This is the mentality of most Cops. Cops are told to do this every day in their roll calls.
Concealed carry means just that. You carry for your protection. Only if your life is threatened. Your job is not to defuse arguments. Or get involved in other peoples arguments or fights. Pull it out in any other situation and you become the threat.
