Default I was disarmed by a police officer

I looked up and saw red and blues. Pulled over, rolled my window down half way and placed my palms on the wheel. The first thing the officer asked me after "how are you doing today sir?", was "are there any weapons in the vehicle?"
I replied, "yes sir, I have a gun on my hip, on my ankle, and my permit is in my wallet.
He asked "do you have a badge?"
I replied "no".
He said "what we I'm gonna ask you to do for the remainder of this stop is get out of the vehicle and disarm you. "
I got out and lifted my shirt from the front to expose the XD on my hip. He removed it from myholster and placed it in the bed of my truck. He then asked my to lift my leg and he reached down to remove the 38 from my ankle. I keep my pantleg tucked behind the gun so I did not need to pull my pants up. I pulled out my wallet and handed him my LTCF, license and address correction card. He told me to get back in the truck and that he would keep the guns with him. When he returned he gave me my information back. He informed that he had unloaded both guns .
As he handed me the 38 he said "that one needs cleaned".
I replied, "it gets a lot of lint from being on my ankle".
After he habded me the XD, and the magazine, and all the bullets, he said "I'm going to go back to my car, then you may reload your guns before you pull away. If you try to reload at a redlight and somebody sees you they might freak out." I agreed and he walked away. Another cruiser pulled in behind him as I was leaving. He also gave me a verbal warning about my seatbelt. He also handed my knife back, which I had forgotten about and didn't even notice he took.

This is the first time since I started carrying that I have been pulled over. It was interesting. I did feel a little weird standing with my hands on the roof of my truck while he disarmed me.

So now I have a fine for $157, and maybe some points. I'll have to look into that.
