Why is it when having an interaction with police while legally carrying your weapon they demand your gun even after you have shown them your concealed carry permit? The fact is a lot of officers especially younger ones don't have experience with any weapons beyond their issue sidearm. Then during the act of surrendering your weapon you and the officer break several rules of safe gun handling when your weapons muzzle covers you and any passengers in your vehicle. We undergo a background check when we get our carry permits to be verified a proper person. A legally carried weapon is not grounds to be ordered from your vehicle and have to stand on side of road with hands on hood like a criminal. I have even heard of some cops disassembling a permit holder's pistol and giving them back a pile of parts. For all we know they are logging our guns make, model, and serial number building a de facto gun registration while they have our weapon out of our custody, which is explicitly forbidden by Indiana statute. I would love to hear other opinions on this subject by permit holders as well as LE personnel.
