Oldman, it is not "The Law" that you are required to disarm me. Your interpretation is that the Law says if you feel threatened, you have the option of disarming me. You feel that since it is within the realm of possibility that any human may at any time lose their cool, the safe and sane thing is to disarm every citizen who has a gun.
I am not afraid to give up my gun if it is demanded that I do by a policeman, to the contrary, I would be stupid not to. I am saying that a policeman who feels as you do has a serious case of paranoia.
You sound as if you live in fear of a citizen going "Canton" on you each and every time you come across one. And since one-in-a-thousand may, you will take extreme measures to prevent it. I say there is also a one-in-a-thousand chance of a cop acting badly. Should then all cops be disarmed when approaching a traffic stop? After all, the Citizen must be protected, which is a cops job.
That logic is consistent and just as ludicrous.
Tell that to all the dead or injured cops that were shot by good citizens in a rage. The chances of a cop being shot by a permit holder is slim but then so is getting snake bit while hunting but I am not going in the woods barefooted.
As to the law, some states and I do not know how many, and not going to research the laws of each, requires disarming. I suppose it would be up to the officer if he wanted to do so. If something happened and he survived, I doubt his job would be waiting for him.
I do not deal with that part of the law but I will obey that law. As I stated a long time ago here, I have been stopped by an officer that did not know me for speeding. I allowed him to take my weapon. My hair looked nice, I was wearing a high priced suit, my western boots were shined and I did not look like a ruffian. He felt better taking my gun and if it made him feel better, then fine. It was comical when he returned it in the way that he had to move a gun to put mine under the seat. I did not get a ticket from him and was thanked for my attitude. Two weeks later he was sitting in a class I was teaching and remembered me.
I hate to say it but it appears some here are young with attitudes. Those in that group will not have their permits long. Seen it too often. They carry where they should not, they get an attitude with an officer on a traffic stop, they try to be an officer when they see a fight brewing while out with their girlfriends, wives or best buds to impress. I have the stats for a couple states as to why permits were suspended or revoked. The reasons are almost predictable. Yet you cannot tell these young guys about it. They have tunnel vision and it will be a few years before they vision is broadened.
I am not knocking anyone here. There is nobody on this forum I would not sit down with and buy them a cup of coffee. Depending on their attitude, I might even take them to an air condtioned indoor range with electronic targets.
