Default Thread from "That other forum.." Can you legally refuse to be disarmed?
One of our fellow COTEPians started a thread over in "that other forum..." that I'd like to see discussed here.

Basically, having been stopped for a traffic issue, and having acknowledged to the LEO that you are "carrying," can you "legally and politely" refuse the LEO's attempt to disarm you? Keeping in mind that a prime objective in any such stop is to keep "tensions" at a minimum, can this be done? Are there statutes that govern whether or not a LEO is authorized to disarm "for their safety?"


Thoughts?
