What it boils down to is LEOs have a lot of discretion in this area. In the incident that started this thread just the fact a guy is walking down a highway with an AR in a tactical sling had to make the officer a little nervous. Might not have been illegal but surely was unusual enough to make any one wonder what the guy was up too. And a "typical traffic violation" IS considered a crime and does meet the conditions for probable cause of a crime being commited. This issue has been all the way to the United States Supreme Court. If your or your agencys policy is not to disarm those who are carrying legally at traffic stops then good for you. But it is perfectly legal for you to do so.</p></blockquote><p></p>
