Is it required to inform a police officer that you're carrying a concealed weapon during a traffic stop in Virginia?

  1. Yes, always

  2. No

  3. Only if the officer asks

  4. Only if you're asked to step out of the vehicle

The correct answer is: Yes, always

In Virginia, it is required by law to inform a police officer if you are carrying a concealed weapon during a traffic stop. This information must be disclosed regardless of whether or not the officer asks, and even if you are not asked to step out of the vehicle. Failure to disclose this information can result in criminal charges. Option B and C are incorrect because they suggest that it may not be necessary to inform the officer, which is not true according to Virginia law. Option D is incorrect because it adds an additional condition for disclosing the information, when in fact it is required in all situations.
