You can refuse, but it won't end well for you. If I was still on the street, the odds of me disarming most would be slim. But if I asked you to hand over your weapon and you refused, there would be no further discussion you would be treated as an armed gunman at that point and removed from the vehicle at gunpoint. Then you would be taken to jail.
If you have 30-40k to throw at defense attorney to exercise your right to be a stubborn that is up to you.
I am not trying to offend anyone, just I deal in reality. Here is another dose of reality, the majority of this thread deals with something that when looked at state wide rarely happens.
Carry on, carry often.
This just keeps getting better!

Let's say you get pulled over. You produce your CHL and DL and the officer inquires are you carrying? You respond yes. .....
What if I say that I don't want to talk to you?

If a LEO really feels threatened or unsafe, wouldn't he call for backup straight away? Unless he does, it seems to me that this is just an underhanded way to perform an illegal search.
