Problem:
Many express anger over LEO seizure of a firearm during an UOC Check. The apparent reason for the seizure is to:
1) harass the OCer, and
2)"run the numbers" of the handgun.
The pattern seems to be disarm the UOCer for a "check", then keep the handgun, go to the police car and call in the serial number from the comfort of an air conditioned car while the UOCer is standing out in the sun for 15-30 minutes.
Solution:
Many older handguns have a ring at the end of the butt and many new handguns have a hole where a steel, aluminum or titanium cable could be used to tether the handgun toyour holster or belt.
LEO tries to take your handgun for a visit to his vehicle and only gets 5 feet before his illegal seizure attempt is thwarted by the cable.
:celebrate:celebrate:celebrate
(Sterile OC in this case would involve not having the key to your tether lock on your person, as well as not having ID) As in: Sorry officer I cannot unlock the handgun, I do not have a key on my person.:lol:
