So because if I am pulled over for a traffic infraction and because my tag will come back that I have a LTCH and if I am asked if I am armed which has NOTHING to do with the traffic infraction stop I tell the officer no, I am a bad guy? I will obviously be armed, but I will NEVER offer that information because of the number of bad experiences that people seem to have when they do notify. And NO, it would not be reasonable to believe that criminal activity would be "afoot" because someone doesnt want to escalate a traffic infraction stop past the traffic issue and notify that they are carrying a weapon and bring that into the mix.

I would think criminal activity was afoot (if I asked), and you'd sitting on the curb, disarmed, most likely in cuffs, as I try to figure out what's going on.
Lying about carrying a gun, to ALL police officer is bad business if the gun is discovered.
