IANAL, but I believe you are required to answer truthfully during voir dire. If you were empaneled and the defense attorney found out that you had lied during jury selection, he could move for a mistrial and probably get it.PArrow wrote:OK here's one for you legal eagles out there. I know that if I'm asked by a LEO I'm required to inform them if I'm carrying, but what about at jury selection. I wouldn't be carrying, so am I required to answer the question "Do I have a CHL" or anything similar to that?
