Sorry to bring up this aging topic - it's been a while since I've been around. This story immediately came to mind while reading this thread. Even though the situation is different and a threat is involved, a man was supposedly arrested for telling someone he had a gun. This isn't first hand, so interpret how you like. I'm interested to hear what those more knowledgable think of this. I personally would lie to everyone except my parents, wife, and her parents.

When they were exiting the parking lot, logjam ensued. A car full of the other teams supporters wanted to get in front of our CHL. He would not let them in. They cursed the CHL, spit at him, and finally got out and kicked his front quarterpanel. They other party then challenged the CHL to "get out be a man, show what a tough guy you are ."
The CHL lasted with about ten minutes of good Verbal Judo, not taking the bait then finally when the other driver got right up to his window and said he wanted him to get out, our CHL said, "Nope, this is a fight you can't win. " I know you can kick my *** but I not going to let it get that far. You'll have a bullet hole in you before that happens." The other driver asked if he had a gun. The CHL nodded affirmative. And then the problems began. Several bystanders and fans of the losing team, all called the police. The police arrived and ended up arrestting the CHL for failure to conceal. They said that his acknowledgement that he had a gun constituted an intentional failure to conceal violation. He was arrested.
$11,000 later the charges were dropped and he is asking for an expungement. He still does not have his handgun back. The ADA (the CHL says she is a little ***** with a bad anti-gun attitude) told him that if he continues trying to get his gun back, she will file Disorderly Conduct charges on him.
