Is it mandatory to inform a police officer that you are carrying a concealed weapon during a traffic stop in Washington State?

  1. Yes, immediately upon the officer's approach

  2. No, but it is recommended

  3. Yes, but only if asked by the officer

  4. No, unless you are being detained or arrested

The correct answer is: No, but it is recommended

While it is not mandatory to inform a police officer about a concealed weapon during a traffic stop in Washington State, it is still highly recommended. This is because not all states have the same laws regarding concealed carry and it is always best to be upfront and honest with law enforcement. Options A and C are incorrect because they state conflicting information, while option D is incorrect because it only addresses a specific scenario of being detained or arrested. Option B is the best answer as it takes into consideration both the state's laws and the importance of honesty and transparency in interactions with law enforcement.
