So, basically what I'm getting here is that a search probably wouldn't be legal, but due to the probable lack of harm, nothing could be done about it and since I don't really have anything to hide I should just get over it? I've never been one to lock my cases when going to and from the range, so that brings up another question. If the cases were locked and I did not give consent for a search, can an officer demand that I unlock them?

Thanks. That didn't sound quite right, but not only am I not a lawyer I am also not nor have I ever been a LEO.

I'm about ready to step in it big time since the OP hasn't returned yet. Most of us are aware that a LEO may disarm us for their safety, but what about taking other guns out that are being transported in closed cases to run serial numbers? That doesn't sound okay for a speeding stop. Maybe most of you know this answer too, so it could just be me.
