The proper response being " Why do you ask?"

Think about it. Of what relevance is it to the purpose of the traffic stop? 

No need to be adversarial or confrontational, but keep the conversation on the "business" you have with the cop.

Well, considering the next question was "Do you have any weapons in the car?", and we had a 91/30 Nagant, 995 Carbine, and 4 handguns in the back...... Saying we were coming back from the shooting range was kind of relevant to the business at hand. :p

He was neutral, but professional about it the whole time, and in fact a bit helpful at the end. Given the circumstances, the only thing that could've made this encounter better would have been a discussion on preferred firearms with him. :lol:
