I'm driving on a road that goes from 35 to 45 as the speed limit but it is different in each direction. I'm driving along with my wife and two little boys after a nice birthday lunch for me and I get pulled over.
Of course, I'm carrying and inform the officer of such when I hand over my license and CWP. He asks where I'm carrying it and then asks me to slowly use my pinky and thumb to pull out the gun and hand it to him.
He puts my Glock on the roof of the car while he waits for the registration and proof of insurance and then takes it back to his car. He did ask if it was loaded and if it had one in the chamber which was a definite yes.
Anyway, he brings everything back including a ticket and an unloaded gun. He asked what type of bullets I used (safety slugs) because he apparently had never seen one before. He told me it was unloaded and I said "I know" since the slide was locked to the rear and the magazine and spare bullet were in his hand.
He asked me not to touch the gun until he was gone so that we'd both be squared away. I'm not sure what that meant but I did what he said before pulling out and driving home.
It was a weird first encounter. I've read most of them on here and another forum and I've not ever read of anyone being asked to hand over their weapon in the car like that. Also, he gave me a ticket on my birthday, what's up with that?
