Re: AUTHORITY OF PEACE OFFICER TO DISARM

Well I have been disarmed once. It was by HISD kiddie police. The officer had me hand him the firearm using the old hand me the gun with your thumb and forefinger only...
Now I was not upset he did that, I am a former LEO and am all about officer safety comes first and foremost. He did what he thought he needed to do for his safety.
I have been stopped numerous times (lead footitis), and that is the only time I have been disarmed. As a matter of practice when the officer approaches the car, all four windows are down, hands on steering wheel, interior lights on if it is at night. I always announce that I am CHL holder and I am armed, " you tell me what you want to do, your safety is MY primary concern" Most officers simply say thanks for the heads up, they are not concerned about folks legally carrying a gun.

I did have one ask me what I was carrying. At that time I had an H & K P7M8, the officer exclaimed, I have always wanted to see one of those! So, he ask me to step back to his patrol car and we had a demo session on the P7M8... LOL
