Of course this is a joke. That would be a "bad idea, TM". I'm overly cautious, I have hands at 10 and 2 on the wheel, fingers open to show I don't have anything in my grip. Window already down, car off, keys on the dash and interior lights on with my CODL and CCW out. This is all done as I pull over, not while stopped with the LEO walking up. I explain calmly that I am armed and have a CCW and ask how they want me to proceed. Has worked well so far.
