When the shooting is reviewed, there is a clear doctrine of including the police officer's awareness AT THE TIME of the shooting. So if you take your hand out of your pocket and the cop thinks you've got a pistol in it, he'll shoot you, and there's a good chance that he will not be prosecuted.

So If:
A) You are a bounty-hunter pursuing a jumper in a bad neighborhood
and B) You get pulled over
You should say C) "Officer I have a permit for that piece and I need it for my job. I am not moving, you can check if you like"
