the officer may assume you are using your informing him of your CCW as a cover to pull the weapon on him.

Then it seems to me that if you don't intend to do him harm why give him any extra validation to shoot you? Why does he need to know you are doing something completely legal. Are you going to announce that the headlights both work, you've paid all your taxes and that you don't beat your wife? If you are a gangbanger and you are armed and you DO intend to do him harm why announce anything. Just do it. My brother was stopped once and out of consideration of the officer he informed him his pistol was in the glove box with his driver's license. The cop told him to keep his hands on the wheel and that he would retrieve the pistol and the license. While trying to unload the Colt Govt model .380 the cop swept him twice with the loaded gun. My brother finally asked him to point the pistol away from him until he could figure out how to operate it. Moral of this story have all your "papers" ready before johnny law gets to the window.
