Pardon my ignorance...but based on the OPs situation, would a CHL holder have the right to refuse the check on the firearm serial number? I see both sides of the coin. It was a routine traffic stop which is still a violation in the eyes of the law and the violation can more than likely be used to leverage probable cause. The other side of the coin, if nothing returns on the drivers license check isn't it a violation of the 4th ammendment? As I see it the firearm is now on record with a law enforcement agency as being in the OPs possession. My CHL instructor provided the same instructions as you all have; inform the LEO that you are carrying and comply with the LEOs instructions. I wouldn't want to antagonize a LEO but I wonder where one should draw the line.
