Do you say we'll I only shot him twice in the leg but I'm no murderer much like a "I've only had two beers" response to have you bee drinking question.

Again, depends on the state. In AZ if you have a CCW and an LEO asks you if you're armed, it's a crime to lie about it, though there is no duty to inform if not asked. If you have no permit, it's still legal to carry, but you don't have to answer truthfully if asked if armed. Crazy, I know.
As for the other questions - no comment, am I free to go or are you detaining me? Absolutely no good can come from playing 20 questions with a cop on the side of the road. They are not trying to clear you.
