Pretty good if you can remember a speech that long without crib notes.
I have the drivers license and CHL in hand before they get to my window. Tell them where it is if asked.
Then again I always get the ticket. YMMV

If all else fails, you could try memorizing the speech - it may change the outcome. Works for me.

"No, Sir/Madam (not admitting a violation before even knowing what the stop is for), but first, out of respect for your safety I want you to know that I am a CHL holder and am lawfully carrying a concealed weapon holstered behind my right hip.

My driver's license is in a wallet in my left front pocket. (It should go without saying that it's not smart to keep your DL right next to where your gun is.)

How would you like me to proceed?"

I've never seen this approach fail to receive an equally respectful response by an officer, who is well aware that only a good guy who isn't a threat will tell him he's carrying a weapon.
