A question was posed to me at work. At what point are we - whether OC or CC - required by law to relinquish control of our sidearm? At a traffic stop, we are required to disclose our CC status. Does this give the officer the right to seize our weapon under the guise of officer safety?
My initial response to the question was only if we are being detained (?) or placed under arrest. Any other situation would constitute illegal search and seizure.
I will research it on my own when I am able to do so, but I would love to have the input of others.
Thanks.
