Same thing if the gun is not on body but just in the vehicle, they will ask you to step out and THEY will handle the gun.
I don't know of any officers that would want to disarm you for their safety and then let YOU handle the firearm.
Touching your firearm under these circumstances has more ways to go south than I could outline here.
I would volunteer to assume any position that would make the officer comfortable while he removed the gun if he wanted to do so.
x2I even ask to reach into my center console for my insurance card
