The correct answer is: Yes, immediately

In the District of Columbia, it is required by law to immediately inform a police officer that you are carrying a firearm during a traffic stop. This requirement helps ensure transparency and safety for both the individual carrying the firearm and the police officer involved in the interaction. By promptly disclosing the presence of a firearm, it allows the officer to handle the situation appropriately and take necessary precautions. Remember, compliance with local laws and regulations concerning the carrying of firearms is crucial for responsible gun ownership.
