13-3102. Misconduct involving weapons; defenses; classification; definitions
A. A person commits misconduct involving weapons by knowingly:
1. Carrying a deadly weapon except a pocket knife concealed on his person or within his immediate control in or on a means of transportation:
(b) When contacted by a law enforcement officer and failing to accurately answer the officer if the officer asks whether the person is carrying a concealed deadly weapon; or
So, If I am stopped for a traffic violation, and invoke my 5th amendment right to remain silent at the start of the traffic stop, (because everyone knows you don't have to answer police questions), does this allow me to not answer the question of, are there any firearms in the vehicle?
I've seen lots of videos on YT where people outright ignore police during a traffic stop so long as that they hand over the required documentation as per law.
