[QUOTE="cowboydoc, post: 1131011, member: 8065"] The last (and only) time I was stopped by OHP, the officer had me get out of my car and come back to the patrol car by calling over the PA - he did not even come to my window. This was at night on HWY 75 near Glenpool. When I got to the passenger door I showed my license and CCW permit and informed him that I was carrying. He had me go back to my car and leave the weapon there. It was not a big deal to me, but I was a little nervous with the whole "step out of the car" over the speakers and not being able to see very well due to the flashing lights. The SDA does not authorize an officer to confiscate your weapon, run the serial number, etc, unless there is probable cause of a crime. However, during an encounter would not be the time to get mouthy and tell an officer "you can't do that" and end up in a pissing contest you won't win. Remain polite and compliant and if an officer is in the wrong, address it through their chain of command at a later time if necessary - not in the heat of the moment. [/QUOTE]
