If you have a gun in the car it is always a good idea to let the police officer know. However, to avoid misunderstandings, you should first put your hands on the steering wheel in plain sight of the officer and then calmly tell him or her in a conversational tone of voice that you have a gun in the car. Do not remove your hands from the wheel and do not make any other movements until the officer tells you to.
Needless to say, if you have a gun in the car in violation of your state's law there may be legal consequences.
Answer:It is your right to NOT incriminate yourself. It is never a good policy to lie to law enforcement, but you cannot be compelled to answer any questions.While it may be a violation of state and local laws to transport firearms in certain jurisdictions, you should never volunteer any information. If you are asked, and you do not wish to lie or self-incriminate, simply do not answer; remain mute.
There will be consequences, but the burden of proof is on the prosecution.
ALSO:
If you do you have a weapon in your vehicle, the first thing you do is BEFORE you go to grab anything, tell the officer something like "Officer, I wanted to let you know that I have a ____________ (gun/knife/otherweapon) in _____________ (area of the weapon)..." He/she may ask you to remove it, or he/she may remove it for you. Legal consequences or not, it is always best to let the officer know if you have a weapon of any sort in the vehicle BEFORE he/she sees it first.

∙ 13y agoYou are not required by law to tell a police officer that you have a gun in the car. If they ask if you do. and you say no, and they find it, you're in trouble. Also, if you have a CCW, the first thing you should say when the officer asks for your license, registration and proof of insurance is say "Officer I have a valid CCW permit and I currently have my handgun on my person." Also indicate where the gun is located on you and do NOT make motions toward your gun unless you want a gun jammed in your face. The officer may take temporary possession of your firearm if he or she feels the need to. Most don't if you are respectful of their safety. Bottom line, don't lie and don't reach for your gun.
