When you get stopped, tough guy, you just go ahead and challenge the cops. Your 5 minute traffic stop will probably turn into a several hour ordeal.

Why should I give up my rights in this situation? If I am ever asked if I have a firearm with me, my answer would be yes and I would openly state where it/ they were located. My truck has two loaded firearms right now as a matter of fact.

The fact that I have firearms that I purchased that are not bothering anyone in their secure location is no reason to handle them, run serial numbers, discuss them, etc. This is not about being a tough guy, as it is about being an American citizen protected by laws that were written by our forefathers many years ago. I do not allow anyone to handle my firearms in any capacity unless I unload it and hand it to them knowing that it is unloaded at all times. I don't care if it is a law enforcement officer, my father, or any one of my trusted friends.

I don't agree with the way the traffic stop went by OP's accounts. This is not standard practice in any law enforcement division in America. If you can show me where it is SOP, I will contact an attorney myself to shoot this down. SWIDT.
