You mind if I take it off you for my safety?”
Way too deferential. Should have been, “Make a move and I’ll shoot.”

Sorry, not buying the make a move and I will shoot bs, especially when he was pulled over for tinted windows. Here in Georgia we can legally have firearms in our car, and have concealed carry. We have no requirement to turn over our handgun, or even mention we are armed.I would mention if asked, as a courtesy to the officer, but will not turn it over, we may not see them again. Sorry, in these most corrupted times, ALL sectors of society have been corrupted, FBI, DOJ, .gov, big Pharma, the list is endless. Long gone is the law enforcement motto “ to serve and protect “, from tinted windows? That said, a terrible incident.
Many years ago I was on my way home from work about 3am when I got pulled over. When the policeman walked up to my window and asked for my license I told him....sure, but I have a gun in my purse too. He asked if I had a permit for it and I said no, I tried but they wouldn’t give me one and I work in a bar and have been followed home, etc. so I carry one now. He said okay and asked me to put my purse on my lap as I opened it so he could see it. I did as I was told, he checked my license, told me to be safe and walked away. Never even told me why he stopped me. These days I’d be pulled out of the car, handcuffed and taken to jail. Times have changed.
