I know that CHP instructors are split on this issue


A general rule of thumb when dealing with government officials/inspectors (part of my job) is to never, under any circumstances, volunteer information unless legally required to do so. If you're asked then definitely tell the truth but otherwise keep your mouth shut.

Specifically regarding cops, I think its a bad idea because simply stating you have a gun could be construed as an implicit threat. Many cops are jumpy and paranoid (with some reason) and you don't want to increase the tension by using the "G" word. If the cop really wants to know then let them ask.
