So what happens if I am asked to leave my weapon in myvehicle, But i have a child in the vehicle, and am not comfortable doing so??
I would respectfully inform the officer of the concern, then do as directed.
believe it or not, some police may do this stuff on auto-pilot (verbage) but all officers that I have treated with respect have done the same...I have met the exception, but if I broke the law, then my choices of how I get treated are far less than the norm.
