Re: Compliance

One scenario I have pondered is when you inform the LEO that you carrying and he/she asks you to remove your firearm, how would I respond. This of course is if you are standing outside the vehicle. I have pretty much decided that I will ask him/her if they would remove it from my holster since I would be reluctant to touch my firearm for any reason at that time. I could turn my back of them with my hands raised to reduce any threat I might present to them - but only at their direction. If seated in my vehicle I am not sure how I would respond other than asking them if I could step outside my vehicle where they could remove it from my holster. I don't know if this situation would ever occur but I always try to think about what I might do in any situation before they happen. Like I always told the players when I coached a softball team, think about what you will do with the ball if it is hit to you before the ball is pitched. Welcome other opinions :headscratch .
I know of police disarming people with a CHL during a traffic stop but I don't know any where the police asked that person to pull their gun. I suppose anything is possible but if they don't feel safe with you having a gun in your holster I don't think they would be more comfortable with it in your hand.
