According to the ORC, an LEO has the authority to take possession of your gun if he detains you while you're CCW-ing. I don't like it, but it's the law, and I guess I have to live with it.
But what about OC?
Say I'm OC-ing on the sidewalk and a cop stops me. He tells me to hand over my gun so he can "run the numbers" on it to see if I'm legally allowed to possess a firearm, or to see if the gun is stolen, or whatever. Should Icomply? Do I have to comply? What if I refuse?
