This morning, I get pulled over (rightly so) for my registration being expired last month.... I pulled over, turned off the car and put my keys on the dashboard, hands on the wheel.
When the officer comes to my window and asks for my license and insurance information. I told him that my wallet and insurance is in my center console, I have my CHL and there is a loaded handgun in the console as well. (it's a SA XD40)
He asked me to please get out of the car for his, and my saftey and asked if I minded if he went into the console to get the wallet, insurance card and gun. I wasn't in the mood to be a douche so I said sure.
He reaches in, grabs all 3 items, hands me wallet and insurance card. Removes my magazine, ejects the round in the chamber, removes every round from the magazine, puts them in his pocket, and locks the slide back (after trying 4 times before he realized without a magazine in it, he needs to push on the slide lock), walks back to his car and comes back empty handed.
we do the normal cop stuff and then its time to go. he tells me to get in my truck and that he will go back to his car. once i am in the truck he will come put the handgun in the bed of my truck. I was to wait for him to get back in his car and then go get the gun and get back in the truck.
then he would repeat the same process with the bullets.
then he would repeat the process with the magazine.
i have never had this much of a "process" when dealing with a LEO in the past, does this seem odd to any of you?
