Not really sure where to post this, but this seems like a good spot.
I have read, in a quiet a few places, that if you are pulled over by a LEO and asked to step out of the car it is a good idea to lock your doors behind you. My question is why? If you are talking to the officer your window would be down, so if you don't roll it back up when you exit your vehicle is still "open". My truck doesn't have power windows so I would have to physically roll my window up. It seems like reaching for anything would be a bad idea once asked to exit the vehicle.
I have my CCDW permit but don't have my gun on my person all the time, it is usually in my glovebox. I don't keep my vehicle registration/insurance in the glovebox for the sole reason that I won't be reaching over there if pulled over.
My routine when stopped is to pull over, turn off ignition, roll window down, place hands on top of wheel, and wait for officer.
I have only been pulled over a few times, and never with my firearm. I have only been asked if I have a gun once by a state trooper, but never by local LEO's. In KY, apparently they know you have a permit when they run your plate.
