Declaration when not carrying
Ronvandyn:
For me it’s about safety, it’s the major reason I DO carry. Safety in all things. Not advising an officer weather carrying or not is a safety issue, my safety. I don’t like having guns pointed at me, I don’t like officers yelling or even getting a bit upset when they are armed. The very last thing I want to do is irritate him/her, so I opt for the safety of making it plain that I have one and I am/am not carrying. Think about it folks, why do you carry if not for safety?
Safety first, last, and always. Anything else is a testosterone high.

Concerning strengthening / weakening laws etc....
The USA has been around for over 200 years. Nebraska has been a State for nearly 150 years. Surly after all these years there is no need to pass NEW laws and that everything has been covered already ?

Call it testosterone induced bravado if you want, but I will not be declaring unless I am armed, because I am just not willing to give up any more liberty than I am forced to

I wouldn't call telling a police officer who is making official contact that you are unarmed giving up an "essential liberty." I understand what you are getting at, but to me it's not a fundamental issue since you know it's going to come up anyway when he runs your license and sees you have a CHP. It's just saving him the trouble and allowing you to better manage the interaction to your own benefit.

One of the problems is that there are WAY TOO MANY LAWS in this country.

It has happened before in other countries. Here are some solutions:
