You can say something to the effect of "I'd rather not answer any questions" or "If I am being detained I'd like to speak to an attorney".Now if you do not have a CHL and, therefore, do not have to inform you have a concealed handgun, how would you handle the situation that the officer asks if you have anything in the vehicle he should be aware of, like a weapon or handgun.
Would you say nothing, say no, say yes, or what to accomplish the last objective of "Do not engage in conversation with the officer" to avoid revealing a handgun?
Certainly don't lie because that could bite you in the rear later. He can't search your car just because you don't want to answer questions and if he does it's time to call a lawyer for real.
