I just read a post and it got me thinking about an incident that occured to me on my last trip to Arizona. I had (and still have)a Utah CCW permit with Reciprocity to Arizona at this time, and in driving up through Kingman I pulled off the freeway there and into town looking for a place to buy diapers and bread for our lunch break. After getting back on the road from the store to a park there I evedently, but unknowingly, exceeded the speed limit there and a policeman pulled me over. Having a gun in a smartcarry on my person at the time I kept my hands on "11 & 1" after rolling down my window before the policeman approached. The fisrt thing the officer said was that he was not going to give me a ticket. This made me feel better but I still kept my hand on the wheel and I asked what was the problem.. the normal pleasantries. He informed me of what I had done and asked for my Drivers information. I kept my hands on the wheel and told the officer that I had a concealed permit and was carrying a weapon, he asked me where I was carring it and I said, "under my belt buckle". He then said that he would need to get that from me. He had me exit the car and at seeing where it was said it ws ok where it was but for me not to have my hands in my pockets. I got out my license and ccw permit and it went on fromt there...
The question I want to ask is ... Does it state anywhere in some legislature or somewhere in your different and varrious States that you have a right to disarm someone that is a CCW holder?
Durring this time my thoughts were going on Why does he have to disarm me??? I let him know I had a gun and a CCW permit (this is a open carry state!!!!), so why is he asking for my gun now????... type of thoughts. Doesn't he know the Grief I went throught to get this thing??
Thinking back I figure that if I had gotten out my wallet before he got to my car and had been holding it in plain view on the steering wheel I could have gotten out the CCW and my license and handed it to him and he might not have asked for the Gun seeing the permit first off, but then again maybe not.
FYI I was planning on doing as he asked but those were the things I was thinking about.
How would some of you handled that situation from either point of view?
Thanks
