that prompts another question:

Several times beings stopped, I've been asked "Do you have any guns in your vehicle?"

If I'm carrying, it's easy "Yes, here's my CHL" end of discussion.

If you are not carrying, but have a gun locked in the trunk, there are three possible answers:

1 - "Yes, I do."
2 - Lie - "No I don't"
3 - None of your business

To me, #3 is most appropriate, and I'm not going to lie to them.
If I answer in the affirmative, additional questions follow "what kind of guns?" "What do you have a gun for?" "Mind if i take a look?"

So how do others react to this question?

Good post, ELB. All politics are local.

seems to me if he tossed the pistol in the back seat and did not cover it, you are setting up for "Failure to conceal".
