As I said near the beginning of this thread, your survivors can sue the agency.

haha I see.

I'm more interested in the legal ramifications, though. Besides making police officer really angry, could you be charged with anything?

What's wrong with lying to the cop about having the firearm? (aside from the moral viewpoint)

Imagine being pulled over and you hand over the ID and CHL. The cop asks if you're armed and you say "No." -- 2 possible outcomes... either no questions asked or he needs a reason to search.

From my understanding, even if he searches and finds the sidearm you lied about, he is required to give it back unless a crime has been committed. I don't believe lying to a police officer is a crime.

Is there something I'm missing? I'm open for feedback. I'm not trying to cause a ruckus, but no one should handle my sidearm, not even police. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
