Is there a 'duty to inform' law in West Virginia that requires you to notify a police officer you are carrying a concealed weapon during a traffic stop?

Yes, immediately upon being stopped
No, there is no such law
Yes, but only if the officer asks
Yes, but only during searches

The correct answer is: No, there is no such law

West Virginia does not have a 'duty to inform' law in regards to carrying a concealed weapon during a traffic stop. This means that you are not legally required to notify a police officer of your concealed weapon unless they ask. Option A is incorrect as it states you must inform the officer immediately upon being stopped, which is not the case in West Virginia. Option C is incorrect as it incorrectly states that you are only required to inform the officer if they ask, not that it is required by law. Option D is incorrect as it states that you only have to inform the officer during searches, which is not the case in West Virginia where you must only inform if asked.
