I do too. Always. Common courtesy for me. When I've been stopped, it's hands on the wheel; no other movement except rolling down the window. When they get to the window, I always say, without fail: "Before we get started officer, I have to tell you that I have a CHL and I am armed(or unarmed, if that's the case which is never). And without fail, it's always a cordial encounter.
Most LEOs I know & served with appreciate knowing that you're a CHL holder early in a roadside interview situation.
