[QUOTE="LSWHAT??, post: 14580990, member: 23079"] Several years ago, and being the only one in the vehicle, I was pulled over while driving my friends pickup to a real estate closing. The reason for the traffic stop was due to my friend not having a front license plate on his pickup (required in Colorado). Upon pulling over the officer approached as I hit the button to roll the window down and replaced my hand on the steering wheel where the other hand already was. Once he was at the window and had a clear view of the cab and had asked for my license and registration, I complied and also handed him my ccw permit while stating my firearm was concealed on my right hip. He asked me to hand him my "weapon"......................................... stating that he preferred to be the only one armed on a traffic stop. As logical as that sounds, I was in shock. If I reach for my firearm and he had shot me, how would that look? If I didn't comply how would that look? This officer didn't know me, what if I hadn't been trained appropriately and upon removing my firearm (with one in the chamber and no manual safety) from a seated position (while wearing a seat belt) I had caused a N.D. scenario and possibly injured myself, him or an innocent third party? What if I hadn't been a law abiding citizen and used his request to carry out something terrible? I complied, the officer took my firearm, returned to his cruiser and ran my info. When he returned he handed me the firearm completely field stripped and then handed me the 17 rds of ammunition from the magazine. He then proceeded to chat with me about firearms, and said calmly and politely "you can go ahead and load that back up now." I'm not in any way stating that law enforcement is not a dangerous job and a traffic stop is not a dangerous situation. What I am stating, is that my opinion would be that an officer in that situation should take my credentials, request I remain with my hands on the wheel and call for a backup officer to babysit me while he conducts the duration of his stop.
