Is it required to inform a police officer that you're carrying a concealed weapon during a traffic stop in Virginia?

Yes, it is legally required
No, but it is recommended
Only if the officer asks
Yes, but only if the weapon is on your person

The correct answer is: No, but it is recommended

In Virginia, it is not legally required to inform a police officer that you're carrying a concealed weapon during a traffic stop. However, it is often recommended to do so as a courtesy and to maintain transparency during the interaction. This can help ensure the safety of both yourself and the officer by avoiding any misunderstandings or perceived threats.
