...nope...the officer can't see a properly concealed weapon (let's say handgun, since long guns aren't required to be concealed within a vehicle)...so I believe he'd have to be legally able to search before he could demand to take possession of the handgun during the interview...betcha Gigag04 has some updated training on this...maybe he'll respond for us...

...seems to me that our having a CHL makes us more liable to have to endure this kind of nonsense...under the MPA, one doesn't have to announce that he has a weapon, and, even if he does, the officer needs to have the right to search the vehicle qualified before he takes control of the weapon so that he could run the serial numbers...I don't know of a law authorizing an LEO to remove guns from the car for his or my or others' safety while he interviews me...unless he could legally search...never thought of that before...same would go for long guns in my car, since the law giving the authority to disarm covers handguns only...
