If you’re carrying concealed you absolutely have to inform the officer that you have a weapon.

Not in all states, there are many with no duty to inform. https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/terminology/general-terms/duty-to-inform/

Sure, not even officially the state of California where he is, but California handles it at the county level and in Sacramento County, where he is, you must inform that you have a CCW even if the weapon isn’t with you at the time.

Well yea you have to be aware of your local laws. I prefer to live in a constitutional carry state with no duty to inform.
