Gunned Down in Vegas: What Really Happened to Erik Scott?
“One instructor said not to do so even if told, and give the officer permission to remove it from you. Five years later, the second instructor advised notify the officer his order is unlawful and dangerous, and (again) encourage the officer to remove the loaded weapon himself.”
In a one on one confrontation, it’ll never happen. Which, in my 12 year experience of carrying concealed, is the norm for traffic stops. It puts the cop at a tactical disadvantage. #1. He has to get within arms reach of you, and #2.One of his hands are full, the other hand is empty, but BOTH of your hands are empty. (At least in Texas. Your CHL is tied to your license plate. They know that the likely driver is a CH Licensee as soon as they call in your plates. I have never been disarmed during a traffic stop, nor even asked to remove it & leave it in the truck.)
