So I have been reading through Dave Workman's book (I know you're a forum member here). I read through the traffic stop section and read the part were it talks about surrendering your pistol to an officer. Under the paragraph labeled "A word of caution" it says that "You are under no legal obligation to surrender your pistol to that officer."
Now this is completely the opposite of what I thought had to happen. I was under the impression that if you are pulled over for a traffic stop and asked to step out of the car that you are sort of being detained. Subsequently if you are asked to surrender your pistol for officer safety, you have to give it up.
I love the book so far and understand that it is not legal advice. I appreciate it very much for what it is, good sound advice. Thanks, and please discuss.
