So if I am asked to produce my CCW, and it is in e.g. a pocket holster, cocked & locked, am I expected to hand it over as-is?

Does every LEO on Planet Earth know how to handle and e.g. de-cock and/or unload every firearm every made?

You beat me to it. I didn't even think to ask this question during my CHL class. I just ASSumed that if an LEO asked for my firearm that I would make it safe (i.e. remove the magazine and unload the chamber) prior to handing it over. Would an LEO have reason to object to this?

Yes, they would object. Remember the reason they wish to disarm you is for officer safety, I seriously doubt they would be okay with you putting your hands anywhere near the firearm. Most likely they will have you put your hands on your head and take it off you - just hope they know what they are doing and don't shoot you accidentally.
