unfy:
You're in the vehicle, the vehicle was stopped by an officer.
You are now being detained by the officer... even if you're not the driver. do you think you can just get out of the vehicle and walk away ?
option (b), always declaring/informing is your best bet.

a and d....
Thanks for the feedback. Interesting. That being said, would it be considered illegally "possessed/concealed" if properly locked up, unloaded, etc. e.g.. going to the gun range? (Rhetorical question). Most fascinating given there is nothing disallowing open carry in Nebraska.
unfy:
bullit: city of omaha has some rules concerning open carry... careful.
Concerning 'concealed in a vehicle':
--- Quote from: The Man ---When transporting a weapon in a vehicle it is considered a concealed weapon when it is concealed in a manner readily accessible to the driver or passenger of the vehicle. The firearm must be unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the driver/passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle.

Also, for a more generic firearm transportation:
--- Quote from: The Man ---
TRANSPORTING FIREARMS FROM ONE STATE TO ANOTHER
We do suggest you check with the state that you will be entering to determine what their firearm regulations are, but under most circumstances guns can be transported for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during the transporting of the firearm it is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the driver/passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle.
--- End quote ---
If you don't want the weapon 'concealed', and you want to be generally acceptable for just about every State out there - the weapon and ammo goes in the trunk. Weapon should be unloaded, and I'd even go as far as to keep the magazines unloaded. Weapon & ammo should probably also be separate bags / boxes.
