While I basically agree with your assessment, the duty is on the owner of the gun to disclose. While it might be prudent to ask if someone is armed, the law is clear that those holdng the license must disclose immediately upon approach by a police officer. I can see any number of good reasons for putting that duty on the gun owner rather than making the cop have to ask.

With that said, the owner tried to do so and was told to shut up. Barring some very good & as yet unknown explanation for his actions, this guy should be off the force yesterday.
