So a while back I asked the question "Do you tell LEO your armed in a traffic stop". Now a new question arises. This is somewhat of a multi-part question.
So say you're stopped by an LEO, and for argument sake you are OC in a holster (w/ CPL) and you do not announce you're armed. Now somewhere during the stop, LEO asks if there are any weapons or firearms in the car.
What would your response be?
Now say that you respond with a "Yes, firearm is holstered on my hip." I would hope that the LEO would leave it at that.
NOTE- this is the main question I am asking.
If said LEO is pushes the issue and asks for you to unholster your firearm and hand it over.
What is your response/ action?
This is somewhat of an experiance i had, to save hassle I wish to keep the details to myself. Id just like to know what I am legally obligated to do. On the other hand I would like to what my rights are to retain my weapon.
Someone on here said something like "the safest place for my weapon is in my holster not handled by anyone".
Anyways folks thanks in advance for all your input.
