He thought it was positive.

I would have felt violated.

I would have also recorded the interaction (audio at least) and stated that I do not consent to a search.


This. I have a huge problem with this and with running the serial numbers of the gun. I think the courts would too.

The "officer safety" excuse to search for a weapon in the car is solely to give the officer a reason to look for other illegal activity. The officer got to dig through the OP's console. It doesn't matter if the officer found illegal items or the person who's right were being violated was completely innocent and nothing illegal was there. It is a violation either way.

Just say no. They have to have probable cause to search your vehicle. If they do and they find a weapon, "Oh, I forgot."

If you stop me for speeding ask for my information and give me a ticket, my pistol has nothing to do with speeding - if you think I am going to shoot you ask me to step out while you write the ticket. There are other ways to handle this stop that don't require back up and handling my firearm.
