I'd have refused to "hand it over" (politely, of course) on those grounds and requested he get a supervisor out there (I think they have to call in the request, don't they?). Unless I'm mistaken (which happens more often than not - LOL), LEOs can ONLY disarm you if they believe it necessary for their safety, your safety, or the safety of others. To "check if the gun was stolen" doesn't meet those requirements.

Now, if the supervisor sided with the officer, I'd comply. But I'd get the officer's and supervisr's information and file a formal complaint ASAP.

That would put you in a difficult position as we do not have to call a supervisor and the law requires a CHL holder to surrender your weapon when instructed to do so on a traffic stop.
