If you said no, and even if the the officer didn't have probable cause, then found your weapon, what then?
At the least, you might spend some time inspecting the stitches in the rear seat upholstery of a patrol car wearing a pair of stainless steel bracelets. And if you weren't alone (e.g. spouse, mother, mother-in-law, etc.), they'd be keeping you company too. As they say, "You'd be in whole world of hurt", but in that scenario, not from the police.

The cop wouldn't even have to ask me, since I always hand over my CCW with my license instead of letting him hear the words "I have a gun" leave my mouth. Producing a CCW usually lets cops know you're not a bad guy. But in states that don't honor my CCW I still keep a sidearm in the car and I don't show a CCW then. Happened to me in CA in April and once in a national park. Cop never asked me about what was in the car, but I'd have not told him or consented to a search if he had.
