Frankly, I don't give a flying f**k what you carry (no offense). I just know we have LEO's that frequent the forum. What if you get stopped by one of our fine Law Enforcement friends? Unless they're one of the very few cool ones, the fact that they know you're armed is just going to serve to escalate the situation. I know I wouldn't advertise to the police I had a gun on me, legal or not. Okay, I'm off my soap box.
I work with police, detectives mostly doing off duty work. None of them look at a legally armed citizen as a threat. In a situation last year a friend and myself were confronted by a mouthpiece in a KFC that thought we "were looking at him funny". After multiple attempts from my friend and myslef to diffuse the situation the guy just wouldn't stop. The people behind the counter had called the police and when they got there they asked him for his ID and he threw a fit that they didn't ask us. Needless to say he did right afterward and we both handed over CCW and CO ID. they asked if we were carrying and we said yes. they then called all four names in and handed us back our IDs and told us to have a good night. I have no idea what happened with the other guy. I'm sure they just wanted us to leave at different times.

Either way I don't fear the cops knowing me, or that I carry. And that little CCW shows them right off the bat that you aren't a felon. To me that is a good thing.
