Is it required to notify a law enforcement officer that you are carrying a concealed handgun during a traffic stop in Virginia?

  1. Yes, immediately upon approach

  2. No, but you must if asked

  3. Yes, but only if the officer asks for identification

  4. No, it is not required at any point

The correct answer is: No, but you must if asked

In Virginia, you are not required to immediately inform a law enforcement officer that you are carrying a concealed handgun during a traffic stop. However, if the officer asks for identification, you must then disclose that you are carrying a concealed handgun. This communication is essential to ensure the safety of both the individual carrying the firearm and the law enforcement officer. It helps in maintaining a transparent and cooperative interaction during the traffic stop.
