Re: First LEO contact - disarmed and unloaded

I may be new to this game, but I fully expect to be disarmed anytime I have broken the law. Even for a simple traffic stop, i would expect the officer to err on maximizing his safety.

This was a big topic in my CHL class and it makes no sense to me. The intructor seemed to be of the opinion that there is no reason to EVER be disarmed short of drawing your weapon. But I have LEO friends and they've said that it all depends on the situation at the time. My friend John told me, "Even the most law abiding person can give you an uneasy feeling at times and if that feeling comes around wth a CHL, disarm them first, then proceed."

That "uneasy feeling" may be wrong 99% of the time, but even 1% being right is worth the protection of our LEO.
