In theory,I've thought the same thing. However, in reality, how many officers will allow us to remove our own gun to give it to them?

The government is taking the second approach.

And it sounds like your science classes in school were a bit different than mine. Either that or, do your parents know what was really going on out in their garage?

I thought JBarn was questioning the premise for checking the serial number. Usually, the premise is to see if it is stolen or to make sure it is not. I thought he was questioning why other things that are more commonly stolen are not routinely checked and might have a higher value for the same reason.

We, the CHL holder, really don't have a choice in the matter. If the officer wants to disarm us "for their safety" they may. Once they have taken possession of the gun they can run a check on that serial number if they want to and there isn't really anything we can do about it. The officer probably won't even tell us if they did or not unless it has been reported as stolen, but you'll probably know that pretty quick.
