Is it a requirement to inform law enforcement that you are carrying a concealed handgun during a traffic stop in Virginia?

Yes, immediately upon approach
No, only if asked by law enforcement
Yes, but only if asked
No, there is no such requirement

The correct answer is: Yes, but only if asked

In Virginia, it is a requirement to inform law enforcement that you are carrying a concealed handgun during a traffic stop, but only if asked. This is why option C is correct. You are not obligated to disclose this information immediately upon approach, as stated in option A. Similarly, you are not required to wait to be asked by law enforcement, as mentioned in option B. Option D is incorrect because Virginia law does indeed mandate that you disclose the fact that you are carrying a concealed handgun if law enforcement specifically asks you about it during a traffic stop.
