after an illegal U turn in Metairie.
Found your problem.

He then asked to search my vehicle which I had a problem with (12 am on a bama highway, black cop who I could tell didn't like this white country boy) and I reluctantly told him he could so I could meet my buddy at camp. He takes 15 min and finds nothing. Let's me go with a warning.
"Am I suspected of committing a crime?" "Am I free to go?"
Just remember those for next time.

Do you need to have a registration with you to have a handgun in your car?
It varies from state to state, but having a CC permit that is respected in the state you are currently in makes most of the car carry laws null and void.
Check out Handgunlaw.us for info from each state. Someone had also posted another good resource recently.
Get familiar with laws of states you plan to travel through. It's your responsibility to know.

not in St. Francis County Arkansas it didn't. I got pulled over for speeding, handed the officer my license and GWL and he went to his cruiser and came back about 2 minutes later. I'm thinking he is just going to give me a warning, nope I got a ticket, but from my reading that county is a pretty notorious speed trap. He pulled me over for doing 78 in the 70, but he saw an easy mark with me being in my work truck and the Georgia plates, he knew I wasn't going to come back to try and contest it.

In TX you are allowed to have a firearm concealed in your vehicle, no conceal carry permit required for that.

I'm 1/1. State trooper let me off speeding at the base of 310 but a westwego teenage cop still wrote me up for running an orange light. I swear that light was yellow but ya can't argue with the man in charge. Westwego doesn't let anyone off. 
Late 20's and that is still the only ticket ever on my record.
Congrats on the Glock, complements of the force.

Didn't go as well for me...
Back in 2003 I was a 19 y/o sophomore at LSU. I was up late studying for a test and drove over to a buddies house at midnight to grab some notes. I rolled through the stop sign at W. Lake and Parker (think there's a light now). Proceed to get pulled over by Campus PD.
Officer walks up and asks for my license and whatnot but I completely forget that I have my shotgun under my backseat so I didn't mention it. He comes back to my window gives me my stuff back and then asks if I have any guns, drugs or hand grenades in my vehicle.
Then it clicks and i remember my shotgun. So I calmly tell him yes, I have a shotgun under my backseat in a case. This fricker pulls his gun on me and starts yelling for me to get out of the truck. I get out, he holsters his weapon, calls for backup and slams me against the truck. His backup rolls up about 30 secs later and I get the full nut grab pat down.
I get brought to the other cop car and the original cop searches my vehicle, pulls out my shotgun and makes sure it's clear. I was so freaked out, I didn't know whether they were allowed to search my truck or not at the time. The second officer was much cooler about it, said it was no big deal and that he was overreacting.
I proceed to get a lecture from the original cop about always letting them know about firearms in a vehicle. I get my ticket and I go on my way. Wasn't a pleasant experience to say the least!

Screw this crap. I hope he felt like a big powerful man pushing you around like that. This kind of stuff gets me pretty heated.

Same thing happened to me in Orlando on vacation last week. There is a Walmart about 5 minutes away from Disney World that is new in the last few years and Florida through up un-manned toll booths at both entrances/exits around the place to get there. There was literally no way to get to it without paying a toll and we didn't have a single coin. We had to turn around on the off ramp and a trooper saw us. I explained the problem and told him I had a Kimber Ultra CDP 2 in the glove box as well and handed him a permit with my license. He ran my shite and came back with a warning. Freaking guy was so huge I could not see his shoulders that were above the window of my highlander.

And that's why I will tell them at first contact 100% of the time. Weather "should" or "need to" or not. I figure I'm not hiding anything and the last thing I want is some over zealous cop having a bad day get supprised buy a gun in the car. I figure I have no idea what kind of frick tards he has dealt with already today OR how bad he got beat up in high school.

I don't disagree with you at all. It was an honest oversight, just left the gun in my truck after a hunt.

He was a total douche, probably no more than 30 years old and definitely on a power trip. His backup was younger than he was and was much more chill. That was the first of my two run ins with the popo's during my time at LSU and both are the reason that I don't trust cops more than any other regular citizen.

I've only been pulled over 3 times since owning a gun. First time I was in an empty construction zone in Pickens County Alabama. My truck and the trooper were literally the only two cars on that road for at least 5 miles. It was early in the morning and I was driving to a client out there from Birmingham. He was cool about the gun. I handed him my license, CCW, and insurance card all at once, and told him my handgun was in the console. He didn't get all weird about it. Probably sees it every day out in the country like that. Came back and gave me a ticket, then gets all preachy, and says I'm lucky that they were not doing work in the construction zone or else the ticket would be double. I had been driving this road morning and evening for 3 weeks. Never saw the first machine or work truck. They still had the cones up and the road ground, but no paving was going on.
Another time I was in my Dad's car, and ended up getting a warning.
The last time I was pulled over leaving my grandparents house. Gave him all my docs and told him I had my gun in the console. Big old boy that didn't care. I end up telling my grandfather I got a ticket leaving town that night when I talked to them, and he asked me who pulled me over. Small town, and of course he knows the guy. He makes a few calls and the ticket disappears. And my aunt ends up marrying this cop a few years later, and he got a kick out of me telling him about the ticket last year when I saw them. He said if he had known me then he wouldn't have gave me a ticket or a warning.

Easy to understand why police would prefer to not to be surprised by finding a gun in the vehicle.

in Louisiana you do not by law need to inform an officer that there is a firearm anywhere in your vehicle except on your person while in your vehicle. Whether concealed or not unless you possess a CCP. Then by law you must inform them of the firearm in your vehicle/person.

LRS 40:1379.3 §1379.3. Statewide Permits f or Concealed Handguns; Application Procedures; Definitions (I) (2) A permittee armed with a handgun in accordance with this Section shall notify any police officer who approaches the permittee in an official manner or with an identified official purpose that he has a weapon on his person, submit to a pat down, and allow the officer to temporarily disarm him. Whenever a law enforcement officer is made aware that an individual is ca rrying a concealed handgun and the law enforcement officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the individual is under the influence of either alcohol or a controlled dangerous substance, the law enforcement officer may take temporary possession of the handgun and request submission of the individual to a department certified chemical test for determination of the chemical status of the individual. Whenever a law enforcement officer is made aware that an individual is behaving in a criminally negligent m anner as defined under the provisions of this Section, or is negligent in the carrying of a concealed handgun as provided for in R.S. 40:1382, the law enforcement officer may seize the handgun, until adjudication by a judge, if the individual is issued a s ummons or arrested under the provisions of R.S. 40:1382. Failure by the permittee to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph shall result in a six - month automatic suspension of the permi

I have informed the officer I had a weapon in the truck every time I have been pulled over. They are always okay with it but hand me over a ticket as well...every. single. time.
I have even had nice conversations about the pistol and holster...still presented with a ticket...guess I am doing it wrong.

actually the opposite. the gun cannot be in plain sight
Gov. Perry also signed H.B. 1815 after passage by the 2007 Legislature, a bill that allows any Texas resident to carry a handgun in the resident's motor vehicle without a CHL or other permit.[17] The bill revised Chapter 46, Section 2 of the Penal Code to state that it is in fact not "Unlawful Carry of a Weapon", as defined by the statute, for a person to carry a handgun while in a motor vehicle they own or control, or to carry while heading directly from the person's home to that car. However, lawful carry while in a vehicle requires these four critical qualifiers: (1) the weapon must not be in plain sight (in Texas law, "plain sight" and "concealed" are mutually exclusive opposing terms);[18] (2) the carrier cannot be involved in criminal activities, other than Class C traffic misdemeanors; (3) the carrier cannot be prohibited by state or federal law from possessing a firearm; and (4) the carrier cannot be a member of a criminal gang.[19][
