[QUOTE="soonersfan, post: 1985863, member: 9063"] I don't open carry and don't have run-ins with the law. So, for me personally I don't anticipate ever being in this situation. However, I think Doug's advice is good as usual. I've heard Doug say before that the concealed weapons law was passed to improve the gene pool in Oklahoma. His reasoning was that people who say, Officer, I'm carrying a weapon and then reach for it, are stupid and will be eliminated from the gene pool by that officer. I'm not sure touching your firearm would anger an officer as much as it would require them to take precautions for their own safety. If they have to choose in a split second between going home or finding out if your motives are pure, they may choose going home. I would think the best thing to do during an interaction with an officer, whether you carry or not, is to present yourself in the least threatening way possible. I think it is best to wait for an officer's instruction rather than trying to anticipate what they want you to do. If for some reason an officer wanted to disarm you, I doubt they would take issue with you telling them that you are not comfortable drawing your firearm and would prefer that the officer disarm you.
