Again, you are back to "reasonable suspicion." You are talking about crime, not traffic infractions. Show me any law, or case, where someone was stopped for a traffic infraction and got arrested, detained, charged, found guilty, found not guilty, etc. for not surrendering their handgun at the request of a police officer (where crime wasn't involved).
You may think it is not worth it to stand up for what you believe or to face a few days in jail just to help educate those who need educated. I do.
If a police officer is paranoid over cautious then he needs to find a new line of work.
