About a year ago I was pulled over by an officer for a traffic offense. He thought I was reving at him I was in a Mini van I wasnt being an ass I promise. I was stopped ran thru the general questions license, registration, proof of insurance, then I was asked do you have any weapons on you? I replied yes I am carrying a firearm its on my waist and holstered. He asked me to step out and place my hands on the side of the vehicle. At which point he confiscated my weapon from me. I was instructed to turn around with my back to vehicle as he was telling me that he was going to run my info I kept an eye on my weapon. During that I noticed his finger on the trigger, At which point I cut the officer off as he was saying something. I instructed him that the weapon is chambered and does not have a safety (S&W Sigma SW40VE). He then got pissy and told me to get back in my vehicle an wait for him to return with my info and my firearm. He returned my info and my firearm to me moments later and let me go. > > My question are officier allowed take my weapon from me during a traffic stop? Did you also inform him that he would have to pull the trigger about a foot and a half to get the weapon to discharge? 🤣 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/idiot-open-carry/203037)._
