I agree that is some odious dialog. I also suspect some of the posters are not really police officers. They seem too ignorant.

The idea of a police officer removing a weapon from the wearer's holster while the wearer is seated in the car is shocking.

If "anyone can go off" during a traffic stop, do police disarm off-duty police officers when they have an official encounter with one?

By having a CHL, a person has proven that he has avoided a lot of bad bahavior, including felonies, dishonorable discharge from the military, commitment to mental health treatment, all misdemeanors except the most minor ones for at least five years, and certain debts. He has taken the course, passed the test, ponied up the money, and passed state and FBI background checks.

Is that person going to "go off" because of a traffic ticket and go to prison for murder?

Since anyone can have a weapon, legally or not, or use the car to attack the officer, why don't they handcuff every driver so that they can "go home at night"?
