if you are carrying, legally or not, i don't care, do not say you're armed unless you're being detained. during a traffic stop, telling a pig you're armed is just giving them a reason to kill you.
Often they already know, unless you are in a permit optional state.
Running license plate if permit holder is owner or co owner of vehicle, or running driver’s license, will tell them immediately in most states.
Also in some states, you may be *required* to disclose, even if you are not a resident of a state. Ohio is notorious for enforcing this.
Look up your state and states you are visiting frequently for “duty to inform” laws.
