[QUOTE="Buzzgun, post: 1473358, member: 4715"] I have been stopped a few times while armed and I have never had an officer take my handgun. When I teach the SDA class, I follow the state mandated curriculum, including the part where it says "follow the officer's instructions". Having said that, I don't like the idea of an officer removing a legally carried firearm during a traffic stop, I believe it is both unnecessary and unsafe. First, if I was inclined to shoot the officer, I certainly would not inform him I had a gun before doing so. Second, I often carry a pistol that has a magazine safety, and, the slide WILL NOT retract enough to unload the chamber unless the magazine is in place. In order to unload the chamber on that handgun, you must remove the magazine, empty the magazine, re-insert the empty magazine into the pistol and then retract the slide to empty the chamber. I'm sure many cops are gun savvy enough to figure this process out, but a lot of them aren't. I'd hate for the cop to shoot him or herself or me while trying to unload a pistol that I was legally carrying. But I'm not going to tell one they can't take my pistol, can't see that turning out real well for me! [/QUOTE]
