Okay so we have seen on this forum in several other threads the discussion about tell or no tell as it relates to informing an officer that you have a handgun. (See I said handgun not weapon.)
We have also seen on this and other forums where officers appreciate the notice however they will some times ask to disarm you.
We have heard several ways this may happen, the most reasonable to me is that they would ask you to step out of the vehicle then they would retrieve your shooter and unload it.
Here is where I have concerns. When you let them retrieve your weapon, (oops), does this give them an implied consent to search your vehicle?
Would it be out of line for the person being stopped to suggest to the officer that you just step out of the vehicle and lock it?
I know I know you are all saying that you shouldn't have told them to begin with, and I agree with that, mainly for the reason that I am asking about. BUT what about you Ohioians or if you are somewhere where informing is required?
Again is there such a thing as implied consent?
Just curious.
