my apologies to kev, he makes good posts and seems like one of the good guys so I hope he doesn't get too offended at this.

yes the police can take your gun away without your consent, and yes they can detain you for any or no reason they like.

sure there might be a 4th amendment violation, but the most that will happen is you'll spend some time in a cell then they'll let you go without filing charges and you may or may not get your gun back.

sounds like a shitty deal, and it can be, but that's the way it is.

always ask "am I being detained" if the officer says no then BEAT FEET.

if you are being detained say yes sir, no sir, be polite and don't shoot your mouth off. if you resist or cause them any problems you automatically become the bad guy. they can book you for disorderly conduct, impeding and investigation, or any number of things just to make your life miserable. it happens every single day.
