Say a cop wanted to disarm you and was going to take your gun no matter what... What if you offered to take the holster off your belt but to leave the firearm still in it and give the entire thing to him "for the safety of all"?
If he allowed this, and if the S/N was covered by the holster, would the cop have the right to unholster the firearm to go run the S/N?
Seems to me that his taking the gun for "safety" would preclude him from subsequently unholstering it.
I mean no disrespect, but judging by the tone of many posters in here, its clear that many of you have never had much interaction with LEO's.
One thing you have to under stand is, there's the law and then there's the actions of law enforcement.
If there arent cameras around, the police can really do what they want within reason.
You think you have rights?
I once got pulled over, car searched, pistol taken off of me and SN read. Why? Because I was "driving through a rough area" (Im white and had to cut rough a black neighborhood of Pittsburgh)
When pulled over asked I politely asked the officers "may I ask why I was pulled over?" and they yelled "thats what we do!"
The bottom line is, when you are confronted by LEO's who do what they want, you really dont have much say in the matter. Okay, you may have a lot of say but there isnt much you can do.
You can have letters, copies of state law and even your attorney on the phone while they harass you.
Bottom line is, if they want to disarm you, run your guns SN, they are going to do it.
I do NOT support this breach of civil liberties by LE, but what I posted above is reality.
The best thing you can do is cover your butt and try to record them acting illegally and then pursue it to the end.
