I was driving home from my gf's last night on 95 and was pulled over. The usual DL, reg, insurance etc thing. I get my wallet out to I can get my DL, pull my DL out & he must;ve seen my LTCF card (behind my DL in my wallet) so he asked if I had a weapon.
Looking back, I suppose I could've/should've said "I don't have anything illegal." But instead I said "Yes." He asked where it was and I told him "my right hip."
He told me to put my hands out the window as he went around to the passenger side of my car to disarm me. He pulled my pistol from the holster & said "H&K?" I replied No, M&P, S&W. He then went back to his, with my pistol, car to run my info.
Several minutes pass & he comes back with my documents and pistol. He ejected the round from the chamber, put it in the mag & left the mag out. Brought it back to my vehicle in this condition. He then put it in my trunk and told me I could go back, load it & re-holster it once he pulled away.
He pulled away & I got out & did just that then proceeded to drive home.
He let me go with just a warning (Pulled over for speeding & not using my turn signal).
I don't know if I should be angry b/c he disarmed me. I can certainly understand why they do & I know I'm not the only one this has happened to. I suppose if it gets me only a warning, I can be ok with it. *shrug*
I think I'll move my LTCF to anotehr slot in the wallet though.
