If you're armed and decide to disclose that to the officer, presenting the carry permit is probably the best way to go in my opinion even though it won't mark you as "one of the good guys", and will probably not make the officer any less wary.
Just be courteous and natural. Using "sir/officer/deputy/trooper with every other word seems suspicious. Act like a normal human being who isn't trying to get away with anything and things will probably turn out just fine.
