[QUOTE="50Shooter, post: 1827084, member: 1026"] Inspect mean put your hands on it, hold it and look at it. To follow the law, officers need to leave the citizen's handgun alone. There is no need to take it and secure it without probable cause or reasonable suspicion of some crime or threat. It is safer for everyone involved if all handguns stay in secured holsters. All of the accidental discharges I've investigated involved mental errors while hands were on the gun. Leave it secured in a safe design holster and keep hands away and you will see an amazing decrease in ADs. It would be foolish to assume all peace officers know how to open/clear/render safe all of the different makes and models of handguns. Don't believe me? Hand your run of the mill officer a Beretta 21, tell them to clear it then point it down range and drop the hammer. Hint, keep your ear protection on. I have had numerous people tell me that during a traffic stop the officer asked them to take out their handgun and hand it over. All of these citizens tell me they politely declined and told the officer he was welcome to remove it from the holster himself. I have never met an officer who will admit to that behavior. The standard of care for officers I work with when notified of a concealed handgun permit? 1. Where is it? 2. Please leave it there and don't touch it for the duration of our contact. Thank you. 3. Finish their business. Have a nice day. Common Sense and a polite demeanor goes a long way for both sides of this equation. Fiftyshooter [/QUOTE]
