Just to throw an extra wrench into the works...

One of my carry guns has a serial number under the grip. If an officer detained me, acquired my weapon and tried to run it, he would not find a s/n, unless he was aware of it being under the grip.

In this case, I have done nothing wrong. Do I have to inform where the s/n is?

Do I have to let him remove the screws to remove the grips?

Assume he only discovered the weapon and I did nothing wrong criminally speaking or even suspicious.

I think Gunlawyer is right (at least I hope) but I thought Hawkins stated they were not covering the scenario where an officer spotted a weapon on his own.
