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

  1. Yes, immediately upon approach

  2. No, not unless asked

  3. Yes, but only if carrying openly

  4. No, it is discouraged

The correct answer is: Yes, immediately upon approach

In Virginia, the law requires that you immediately notify a law enforcement officer if you are carrying a concealed weapon during a traffic stop. Option B is incorrect because you are still required to notify the officer if asked. Option C is incorrect because the law applies to both concealed and openly carried weapons. Option D is incorrect because this answer is not supported by the law and could lead to potential legal consequences. So option A is the only correct choice for the given question.
