I thought of something else you might find interesting. My husband, the JBT of the family, actually agrees with you. He says he doesn't worry about anyone who has told him they have their CCL because they have been through almost as many checks as he has. Says he has never disarmed a CCL holder.
I disagree vehemently with him.Just because you are a CCL holder doesn't mean you can't be having a really, really bad day. Seemingly perfectly sane people can and do snap in an instant. For example the fella that killed his wife here in Bethany recently. They had been together forever. He had worked for the City of Bethany forever. Nice quiet unassuming couple. She came home and caught him looking at porn on the computer. I am not sure what happened after that but in the end she wound up strangled by him (and dead). It was just a little porn ...
Go figure ...
This goes both ways. We trust the officer, but he could just be having a really, really bad day too.
I'll not enumerate, but in short, I've been pulled over quite a few times since having my CHL, and never had my weapon taken by an officer. They've always asked where it is, but never actually wanted to secure it during the stop. I've heard the line "don't draw yours and I won't draw mine", but the one that amazed me most, was: "remember, I can draw faster than you." And it really sounded like a challenge.
In the end, I want to make it home safe too. So unless the officer tells me to do something that is flat out illegal for *me* to do, I'll comply; and if something happens that I really didn't like, I'll do something about it later. But the officer securing my gun is certainly not worth a night in jail, or worse, getting shot over.
In my defense, I will just say I have met more crazy civilians than I have crazy cops ... but somebody else's experiences may be different ... 
I have a way about me, I guess ... Least that is what I have been told by more than a few of you guys!
