What "lie of omission". Where is the requirement (or even logic) requiring notification that I am NOT carrying a gun.

Personally, I would think that's just weird. "Officer, I'd like you to know that I'm not carrying a gun."

There's no sense in that. My thought process would be "Why is this guy mentioning a gun out of the blue?" It would make me think that he WAS hiding something, otherwise I would not expect the "absent" gun to even cross his mind during a routine traffic stop.
