OP, good post, lot of good info there. I also live in Va, and it is not a must disclose state. However, the county I got my CHP in, "strongly" advised the holder declares themself when pulled over by a county sheriff unit.
Since carrying, I've been pulled over twice, once for speeding and once for not quite making the yellow in time. Both times I declared I had a permit but was not CC at the time. Both officers seemed to appreciate the information. The officer that got me for speeding could have gotten me for wreckless (20 over), but cut me some slack and didnt. The office that got me for running a red, gave me a warning. I like to think my actions (pretty much listed by the OP), helped me out in both cases.
Regardless, until I have a reason to believe otherwise, I will continue to treat an officer like I would like to be treated. They have a dangerous job, and the more I can put them at ease, the better the encounter will be for both of us.
