  1. Yes, always

  2. No, but it is recommended

  3. Yes, but only during traffic stops

  4. No, unless asked by the officer

The correct answer is: No, unless asked by the officer

In Virginia, informing a law enforcement officer that you are carrying a concealed handgun when approached is not mandatory unless asked by the officer. It is important to note that while it is not required by law to inform the officer in Virginia, it is still recommended to do so to ensure transparency and promote a safe interaction between the individual carrying the concealed handgun and the law enforcement officer.
