They may not have a right to know things, and you can sure refuse to tell them anything, but it doesn't hurt to be cooperative with the law if you're not doing anything wrong.


Agree.

It also may open a dialogue and show that you aren't a PITA to deal with.

I always disclose when I get pulled over, and got out of a speeding ticket once for doing so . The officer asked if he could take possession of my gun during the stop to ensure his safety, to which I agreed. When he came back from his vehicle I noticed he no longer had a ticket book in his hand. He complimented the aftermarket night sights I had on the gun, and told me to slow down and have a nice day.

Admittedly, not all of my stops go quite as well as this, but I will say that I have yet to be in a situation where telling the cop about the firearm in my vehicle has made the situation any worse.
