i am sorry you misunderstood, allow me to quantify my post.
safe is bolted behind my seat, as i am safely rolling to a stop, my firearm is placed in the safe w/my left hand and the safe's door is closed and locked.
as the officer is walking up and touching the back quarter panel of my vehicle i am retrieving my DL and ins paperwork.
roll the window half way down, make sure the doors are locked, and then put my hands on the steering wheel where they remain.
he is presented w/the documents with a comment...'can i help you officer?' depending on my mood at the moment, i might, just might throw in a salutation!
LE starts their speech....'do you know?????'
my response...'can i help you officer'
repeat as necessary till encounter is finished...then again depending on my mood, ticket given or not, will provide a 'thanks for your positive consideration officer!'
next public area, stop and get out of the vehicle, find the safe key, and retrieve my firearm.

This is sort of going to be my method. I'm looking into getting my guy at Dickenson's tractor to help me pick the right one and get it bolted. Right now on long trips, I'm locking my firearm in a toolbox. That way the -driver- will not be armed, and we won't answer questions not applicable to the stop.
It gripes me that in Va CHP holders are listed in the VCIN a criminal database.
