“Lying to an officer is not a good idea.”

True, lying is a bad idea. However, you are not required to answer his questions. Sometimes silence is the best reply. Certainly, my policy is not to grant any request to search the vehicle that I am in.

It is written on my CCW that I must inform any LE if I am asked.
I have been pulled over several times in the last 20 years. As long as I'm not in a socialist mecca like San Francisco, I have never had a problem.
This is a situation caused by the gun hating political agenda of most big cities. If you have a CCW you need to read what the requirements are. Different states have different rules but you really need to know what the rules are in every state where the permit is valid. If I lie to the officer and get caught my CCW can be, and most likely will be canceled.
