Re: I was disarmed by a police officer
Interesting post. I'm not sure about the legalities of him disarming you during the stop, but at least it doesn't sound like he was an ass about it. I'm sure some LEO's would have asked why you felt the need to carry two guns (easily remedied by asking if HE or SHE carries a B.U.G.)
I'd love to hear Steve or one of our resident attorneys chime in about the legalities of the officer disarming him for the duration of the stop.
