Yup! “Officer safety” being paramount is total B.S. FREEDOM is paramount. If you are a cop and can’t handle that then get another job.
A cop has rights too. This isn’t about permanently seizing a gun, or searching for a suspected gun and taking it, but having the right to control the scene during a stop.
And I don’t know of ANY state that argues against that. Here in AZ, we can carry concealed without a license, but IF a cop asks about guns, we have to tell him, and he has the right to secure the gun for the duration of the stop.
