This begs a question***
As in the other thread, you get pulled over.
The officer asks if you have a firearm,
You tell the truth... "Yes Officer, I do."
Then he asks you to hand it over 'for his safety'.
At this point can you politely refuse to give up your personal property and still be legal?
I really don't think he can confiscate your handgun, or anything else for that matter, without a warrant.
AND Does the fact that you told him 'yes' instead of 'I refuse to answer' cause you to lose your right to your personal property?
This is how I see truthfully answering seemingly innocuous questions can deprive you of rights under the law.
