Except for a LEO same response to, "Can I see your gun?" NO and NO.

They recently changed the law in Texas.
You've always had to inform LEO that you're a CHL holder and packing.
But they removed any penalty for not doing so.
go figure

If it's not an LEO asking tell them that bulge is a Lipoma (benign fatty tumor) that you are saving to have removed and you would be very appreciative of any donation to help speed the process. I can flat out guarantee the person who asked will most likely beat feet in a direction away from yourself.

Another great reply to a non LEO might be " Why no it's my Cholostomy bag and its rather full" I would bet they would be pretty embarrased!

I would stick with the 3 rules of interrogation- Admit nothing, Deny everything, and Make counter accusations. 
I had the idea that stating that you had a gun on
you, could be taken as "brandishing". That'd depend on
whether there were other people were within ear-shot.
Any one who asks that question will invariably go tell
a third party. That's why they asked. If you answered "yes",
people will know you carry, which could make you a target.
There's no need for macho for anyone silly/stupid enough
to ask that question. Concealed means CONCEALED!

Great Idea, No?
You're going to like this idea. I was listening to a talk show on radio and a caller suggested a national law requiring anyone carrying a gun to OC and (this is the good part) the holster must be bright orange in color so that people are aware the person is carrying. Now why didn't anyone on this forum think of that?

That's great. What a genius.
If you're open carrying and no one notices, you're not carrying a big enough gun.

FWIW in Kentucky it's the reverse of the imprinting rules above b/c we're a constitutional OC state but need the permit for cc. So without the permit as long as the gun is fully exposed you're fine, but if you have it even partially hidden they can get you for carrying without a permit.

..."are you carrying a handgun?".
If you don't know the reason why a question like that is asked...
you always answer with a question...
What you think might be the reason for the question, may not be.
The answer would be... "Why do you ask?".

My standard policy for nosy questions is to fail to hear them.
