I've had a "sit down" in more than one OHP cruiser. Not once was I strapped. I'm just sayin....
How many people who have bigger than life egos cant get it. You took the time to comply with State Law and become a CCW Licensee. Why is it so hard to take of your weapon at the request of the officer during a traffic stop. It isnt as if he is gonna shoot you.
Be respectful, "yes Sir, No sir or Yes Ma'am", almost every LEO starts to BS with me, I even had one ask if they could see my weapon, I dropped mag, cleared weapon in a safe direction, and handed it to him, we then spent the next 30 minutes talking shooting techniques, cleaning, he still wrote me a ticket, no big deal, he was doing his job.
I want the LEO who detains me to know that I am a friend, not a foe, he gets nothing but cooperation and respect from me, even if he wants to see my gun, or have me take it off, and writes me a ticket.
Just my 2 pennies worth.

Just so you all will know the Supreme Court has decided that an Officer can make anyone stay in a vehicle OR exit a vehicle during a traffic stop for officer safety reasons. Also you can be disarmed for the same reason. If you refuse you would be committing a crime of failure to obey a lawful order...and possibly even obstructing an officer. Whoever your CCW instructor was that told you to stay in the car is an idiot.
Your best bet is to simply comply with any request given to you by a LEO. If you have an issue with it file a complaint later, But confronting the officer at the scene of a traffic stop will not end well for you and is not the time or place for you to air your concerns or complaints or your knowledge of the law.

I have been stoped twice with my carry gun in the car. First officer just asked where and never said anything else. The 2nd time the officer just asked if I would put it on the dash until we were done. It did not bother me. I want them to feel save if they ever pull me over. He give me a warning anyway. That made me happy.
Last time I checked the chances of you getting a night stick to the head greatly depreciate if you do what the officer asks.
Just an observation. Most will say I am a law abiding citizen. I took the time to go through the CCW class. Many on here will spend way too much time to make sure they are not "printing" or even exposing a small portion of the holster in order to be in compliance with the law. Those same people do not want to obey the posted speed limit (aka the law). Also they get grumpy when a Police officer, for the safety of the officer, asks you to leave your gun in your car and go to the officers car.

Good thing he didn't question your immigration status, that would have been a REAL crime.
With the way you drive (read fly) I don't think you've gotten your fair share
