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

  1. Yes, it is mandatory

  2. No, but it is recommended

  3. Only if the officer asks

  4. No, there are no such requirements

The correct answer is: Yes, it is mandatory

It is mandatory to inform a police officer in Oregon if you are carrying a concealed weapon during a traffic stop. According to Oregon law, individuals with a concealed carry license must immediately inform a law enforcement officer that they have a concealed weapon in their possession when they are stopped for a law enforcement purpose. Failure to do so can result in a Class B violation and possible revocation of the concealed carry license. Option B is incorrect because although it is recommended to inform the officer, it is not just a recommendation but a requirement. Option C is incorrect because while it is important to comply with the officer's requests and answer truthfully, the law does not say that you only have to disclose the information if the officer asks. Option D is incorrect because, as stated before, it is mandatory to inform the officer if you have a concealed weapon, it is not an optional requirement.
