The cop will then give you whatever instructions he is trained to give in those cases. Honestly though, most cops I know relax just a bit when they realize they're dealing with a CCW holder.
You see, us CCW holders are a law-abiding bunch.

exactly what I was thinking when I read that, same thing I was told by the instructor for the safety course required by law here, hands in plain sight, so the officer can see.
it can make cops nervous if somebody is grabbing for stuff when they are on their way to the car, who knows what they've got, is it the license, or a pistol, or a knife, drugs, etc.
