Re: On being disarmed?
When an LEO decides that it's time to disarm, the procedure is completely up to them. My comfort will play a very small, if any, part in the matter I'm sure. I have a hard time envisioning any scenario with an LEO saying that they'd like me to disarm myself. If your carry method is such that there may be an increased risk to you due to their disarming, I guess the proper response would be to not do anything that makes the LEO even more jumpy than they already may be. It ain't right, and I probably won't like it. But the roadside isn't the time or the place.

Re: On being disarmed?
And in terms of the original 'what if' - My pre-planned response is to let the officer know what kind of weapon, where it's located, that it's loaded AND that a round is chambered. And then ask how the officer would like to proceed. At that point, it's a real-life version of Simon-Says.
Any post-event follow-up would depend on the circumstances leading up to the request to disarm and what happens after I am disarmed.

Re: On being disarmed?
Is the gun actually designed to work that way?? Even having to partially insert a loaded magazine into the grip in order to eject the chambered round is completely counter-intuitive. If it is actually designed that way, I'd rethink carrying that one if not for the safety factor alone.knotquiteawake wrote:With my .32 seecamp, I am afraid that if an officer tried to "clear" the firearm he would break it. you CANNOT rack the slide with the mag released. It has a magazine disconnect and if you force it it will likely break the trigger spring to do this. You have to insert the magazine partially, then rack the slide to eject the chambered round, then you can remove the magazine completely. I hope I never have to be disarmed by an officer but if I am I would hope he would allow me an opportunity to explain how to safety remove the rounds from my firearm or just leave it in the holster.
