Re: LEO seizure of a handgun

I think that's a valid question, and I for one, would be interested to know if anyone knows of any incidents. Has an LEO ever been killed (or even shot at) by a CHL holder during a traffic stop? Not just in Texas, but anywhere in the country? I can certainly imagine cases when in would potentially be prudent for an officer to disarm a CHL holder during a traffic stop, but it seems to me that the circumstances would be extraordinary. Are there any incidents at all that would lend to the conclusion that this might be reasonable as a matter of policy?
