This may have been covered before, but I tried searching and did not really find what I was looking for. Just a few posts generally speaking about allowing the officer to take it.


The situation of being disarmed is taboo, I realize that. But in a situation where the LEO insists that he disarm you for "his safety", and you go over the whole "I will comply, but I do not consent" thing... Who should do the handling of the weapon? Should I pull the weapon and unload it (which may not be a good situation, even if the officer says to go ahead), or should I tell the officer to disarm me himself (but make sure he realizes there is one in the chamber)?

I don't want to "draw", and yet I don't want to get shot in the leg either...

I was just wondering what everyone else's opinion on this is. And PLEASE do not turn this into an argument over "allowing disarmament", because that has been beaten to death... The question at hand is, what should you do if the officer demands he disarm you for his safety...
