Sorry to rehash the traffic stop thread from a week ago, but say it goes a bit differently.
Officer pulls you over, asks if you know why, but you are smart. You are NES forum member and have learned not to say anything. So you say , 'no sir'. He tells you you were....(speeding, ran a stop sign, failed to blah blah)
Then he asks, "any guns in your vehicle"? This of course has no bearing on the stop, and he has no right so far to search the vehicle from the traffic infraction. But
Are you required to answer this? (assume you have a full un restricted LTC A, and are carrying it either on you or in your trunk, etc. ) And if you do, can he now search the whole vehicle, or ask you to produce it?
