I should add that if you have a concealed carry permit, one condition in almost all states is that you are required to disclose a concealed gun in your vehicle. That is a rule that I never intend to violate.

Could you quote statutes for that in each state? It is certainly NOT the case in MASSACHUSETTS. I do know that there are a few (six? sixteen?) states where it IS required.
However, lying to an LEO is a whole nother thing, certainly to be avoided, and usually illegal.
