I am not sure but most states require you, if you have a carry permit, to notify the police if you have a gun in the car. The lawyer should know. He should be charged with that too if that’s the case.
Fact is a lot of lawyers feel they have more rights than others because they have access to free legal aid and appear before people they are familiar with who often just slap them on the wrist for things we go to jail for!!!

Just a couple of them require you declare when first approached. In others, if the Cop asks you are required.
However if you are ‘foolish’ enough to have it on you in NY/NJ and most of that part of the country, it is best they ‘find’ it rather than you tell them - the penalty is no ‘worse’.
If I am in a real ‘gun friendly state’ I may tell him/her but it really depends on the situation. I think I would declare in my own state, but not really required to - again, dependent on the circumstance.
