An officer that exercises his lawful authority needs no further burden to run your serial number.
If you have been stopped, probable cause has been established. Even prior to CHL, an officer had the legal right to a warrant less search of any part of your car within reach of the driver. If the officer found a weapon, he needed no further authority to run the serial number.

Re: Police want to check your serial #
If you are stopped and the officer exercises his lawful authority to disarm you and you refuse, you will probably be arrested.
I was a LEO for 15 years, prior to CHL, if I was on the streets today, it is unlikely I would disarm most who carry. Most officers I have come in contact with simply hand the CHL back to me with no comment.
I have been disarmed one time by an HISD officer,, but I just wrote that experience off as him not getting to play real police often, so he was going to play the role to the hilt.
Pick your fights carefully, in the case of failing to disarm, you will lose.
Semper Fi.
