Tangentially related....
Say LTC guy is driving along and guy transfers his loaded handgun gun in center console (that his arm is resting on) and he is the only occupant in the car.
He gets pulled over for some stupid shit (let's say, tailight out, or some other standard fishing excuse to warrant a stop) and LEO asks about any firearms in a vehicle, let's assume guy tells the truth.
If the LEO aks the guy to get out of the car, can he pull a sleazeball move and claim that once that happens, he was no longer in control?
One of the reasons I avoid doing this (storing a gun off body) is because of this "crossing-of-the-bridge" issue. I feel like a bad LEO could pull a fast one and exploit
an LTC holder that stores his gun in this way.
My guess is sir doucheleo is not going to be impressed if we ask "Well, Officer, if I get out of the car as you wish, I will be breaking the law because my handgun is in this compartment. How do you want me to proceed?"
