There seams to be a common action during a stop for OC by LEO. They always want to check the chamber if you dont have a CFP. To me if there is no evidence that a law is being broken, then assumption of guilt (one in the chamber) is illegal. Appears no different than pulling over cars just to check for their occupants compliance with citizenship (papers please!). I am sure there is something that I am missing as relates to an officers legal standing with safety or situation control. Where is the line? What are the legal actions given the officer, by law, during a stop while I am walking down the sidewalk? Can they disarm me, take my baby and then return it to me if/when they feel it appropriate? What happens if they dont feel like giving it back to me? Call me paranoid, but I dont like ANYBODY short of God himself to handle my guns without my concent. Are they really able to put their sticky fingers on my shiney Kimber any time they want? Am i concenting to search by walking out my front door? This has always bothered me. Even in a traffic stop, are they able to disarm me at their discression? I am hoping that the LEO's among us will give some insight as to their understanding of the law.
