I got pulled over for speeding yesterday, and as usual, I was carrying. I had all my credentials out when he walked up to the car, and my hands on the steering wheel. I hended him my license (NY) my registration (VA), my military ID (Navy), and my concealed weapons permit (VA). I've done this a few dozen times.
In VA, the cop runs your license, and gets your CCW info, so I usually just tell him, as a courtesy, "I've got a loaded ______ pistol on my right waist."
This time he wanted it.
Now, I did give it to him, holstered, and he walked back to his car with it. This bugged me. I had another gun right there in the lock box in the console, but I was still a little peeved about him taking my gun. I had been speeding, 10 over, not a jailable offense, and was polite with the cop, so I couldn't see him taking my gun for legal reasons.
What do you folks do?
