Re: 1st contact while carrying

PUCKER wrote:So, the $64K question - if you (by "you" I mean *any* of us, who feel that it is NOT safe* to be disarmed) refuse to be disarmed and either demand that the officer state the articulable reason for disarming (and you determine that it is unreasonable) or just flat out refuse on safety grounds, what are the repercussions? I'm sure it includes arrest and such...just wanted to hear from LEOs on here and others who have maybe had such conversations with LEOs.

NOT safe*:
-LEO handling unfamiliar firearm (could cause negligent discharge, it's happened before)
-leaves CHL holder unarmed in a possibly bad area
-Re-arming will be difficult to legally do, ie - to keep it concealed
The side of the road is not the appropriate place to have that conversation.
