This actually happened to me about six months ago at work. Before I give the scenario let me say that the physical circumstances were beyond my control.
What I mean is the facility I was working at was closed for business but the front gate was open because they had trucks coming and going all night long. That's how the client wanted it and it was not within the scope of my duties to close the gate, which would have rendered the question I'm about to ask moot.
So I'm at work posted at the front gate when a black SUV drives onto the site and stops. As my post orders dictate I approached the vehicle and inform the driver that the facility closed for the night and ask if there's something I can help him with.
As I'm probably 10 feet away from the vehicle he looks at me and reaches into the passenger seat. I asked him to please keep his hands visible and and he responds "Oh F off, I'm a cop."
As I continue to approach the car he produced a valid set of CSPD credentials he was a cop. But I didn't know that till I saw his credentials and as I approached the vehicle there was in fact a gun on the seat. Which of course turned out to be irrelevant in this situation but don't think it never happens.

ETA In my particular situation he knew who I was. He watched me get out of a clearly marked vehicle that said Top Flight Security on it. I was wearing uniform and in Colorado Springs the uniform is required to plainly say private security on it and I had my high speed yellow safety vest on.
