Not so sure the advice about not telling anyone.....like the police officer who may stop you for what ever....(speeding?) and the first thing they will ask is "are there any weapons in the vehicle".....if you think your best move is to lie to him go right ahead and take your chances. It is vital to know and understand the laws, and your rights too, if you are going to carry a firearm in your RV with you around the country.

I have never had any officer ask if a weapon is in the vehicle. If he asks, don't lie. Whether you wish to volunteer the information or not is up to you. They will know if you have a CCP before they approach your vehicle. Your license plate is run before you have to chance to pull over, and if the registered owner of the vehicle has a CCP in any state it pops up on the dispatchers computer screen and is immediately radioed to the officer. Some departments can have the officer run the plates from his vehicle via a built-in voice activated computer.
