Its been awhile, and i'm sure i've read it on here before but in the event of a traffic stop can an officer reach into your holster, grab your gun and disarm you? Then just casually toss your gun into your car seat.

Well, saturday afternoon I got stopped for a crakced windshield by an OHP K9 officer. I informed him I was carrying and he asked where my gun was. I told him 4 o'clock on my belt. He asked me to step out of the car and to turn around. I thought i was gonna get handcuffed but he lifted up my shirt, unholstered my gun and casually tossed it into my drivers side seat. Then had me go sit in his tahoe. All that for a warning.
I wouldn't get too upset about it...after all, you ended up with a warning; not a ticket, no one got physically harmed; the officer felt "safer", and so the only thing that got damaged was .... what? Just my two cents. As long as they don't mace me; club me on my noggin, arrest me, or otherwise harm me in some way; I can't see any reason to get torqued off. Could have been worse...
