i got pulled over and had my pistol under my left leg while driving.
is this legal carry? my buddy said that its illegal and that the CHP is only good if the firearm is on your person. i always thought it was good for your possession (on person in glove box, under seat, etc.)?
-also, i told the officer i had my concealed carry permit
before i could tell him that i had it and where it was he asked
i told him that it was under my left leg, he opened my door and reached for my firearm,
i told him i did not want him to take it and he said it was for safety.
he took the firearm, unloaded it and handed me my mag + 1 and commented on it being a nice choice in firearms...(he also brought the firearm back after the traffic stop)
now, i have no real quam with the officer (he was not rude, handled my firearm properly, etc.) but what i want to know is if this violates my 4th amendment rights? he had no reason to believe the firearm was illegal or that my possession of it was illegal... (unless having it under my leg was not legal carry)
