Is it necessary to inform a police officer that you're carrying a concealed firearm during a traffic stop in New Mexico?

Yes, it is legally required

It is necessary to inform a police officer that you're carrying a concealed firearm during a traffic stop in New Mexico because it is legally required by state law. In New Mexico, individuals with a concealed carry permit are required to immediately inform any law enforcement officer that they are in possession of such a permit and a concealed handgun when approached for official business. Not informing the officer could result in criminal charges, even if you have a valid permit. Therefore, options B and C are incorrect. Option D is also incorrect as it is not only a legal requirement, but also the responsible and safe choice to inform the officer.
