"Good morning/afternoon/evening officer. I have to inform you that I have a Concealed Weapons Permit and I am armed. How would like to proceed?" worked for me.

Personally, I've gone with the "hand over the CCW" method.
Almost every time, the LEO has asked "why are you carrying a gun?" I just tell them what my good cause is.

The one time I've been stopped while carrying, I waited until he asked me for my drivers license so I could hand over my CCW license at the same time. As I quickly learned after coming here, "announcing" doesn't always mean that you have to do it verbally.
And "immediately" doesn't always mean before the LEO can even say anything to you. To me, immediately means when it is safe to speak. I don't want to interrupt, confuse, or say a trigger word to the LEO during the stop. Why? The last thing you want to do is make them elevate the situation in their head. You may never notice the change, but it is there. You probably just made him angry, which means you just failed the attitude test. So you're probably getting the ticket, when he might have given you a break because you passed the attitude test. We've gone over this topic on this site ad nauseum. Different people will do it their own way. This way is usually the best way for the officer.

Paranoia? I'd understand you saying ""I don't feel the need to demonstrate the same level of caution, or concern..." but Paranoia??? Anyway... Your way worked for you... once. I hope works for you the same way if you ever need it again. But many of us here have heard several stories where your way ended up not working so well... But hey, man, to each his own...

Trust me with these agencies you do not want to escalate a tense situation by unnecessarily making furtive movements, displaying aggressive body language nor making statements about being armed. It's a much better plan to try to de-escalate the contact by whatever means possible. I completely agree with CCWI's advise. Be prepared (in advance) to hand the LEO your CDL & CCW, at the same time, without making furtive movements during a t-stop (if it's a traffic stop) or any hand movements near your weapon during any contact. Hand the LEO your CDL & CCW when asked for ID. The Officer will take it from there. NEVER, EVER, SAY I HAVE A GUN. BTW - saying I have a weapon sends the same message. Not a good move.

What we suggest here in Kern is to tell the officer you have a permit and WHERE the gun is located... or to hand the officer the CDL and the permit and then let the officer take it from there.... good advice all.... personally I always carry my "wallet" on the left side and the gun on the right... if the cops want to see my "wallet" they can watch the left hand as has been pointed out... I carry the gun at 3:30 or so... on the right... cops want the wallet... no problem.. I'm armed gun on the right side wallet on the left how do you want me to proceed officer...kinda thang...if the goblin wants the wallet... well... then we will just have to kick off the rodeo... or not as the case may be.... by the way....not that I get pulled over much... I limit my excess speed to no more than 10% over the posted...YMMV...
