You should drive more and text less.

In principal, I agree. But in practice, I can see the officer escalating polite non compliance to a disorderly conduct charge.
I would like to hear from someone who has actually tried the proposed tactic to understand how it actually worked out.

They stick them up their own ass. Why wouldn't they stick them up the butt of a gun?
Plenty of people deny the request. If it's a request, you have the option to deny it. No one goes to no one gets a disorderly charge, no one goes to jail. A simple, "I'd rather not" will suffice sans any extenuating circumstances (which kinda relegates the "request" portion moot).
And to be honest (and don't flame me, I'm being candid here), if one does deny the request, I would suggest being as polite as you can because most officers will probably ticket you for whatever offense they pulled you over for.
IC 35-47-14-3
Warrantless seizure of firearm from individual believed to be dangerous
Sec. 3. (a) If a law enforcement officer seizes a firearm from an individual whom the law enforcement officer believes to be dangerous without obtaining a warrant, the law enforcement officer shall submit to the circuit or superior court having jurisdiction over the individual believed to be dangerous a written statement under oath or affirmation describing the basis for the law enforcement officer's belief that the individual is dangerous.
(b) The court shall review the written statement submitted under subsection (a). If the court finds that probable cause exists to believe that the individual is dangerous, the court shall order the law enforcement agency having custody of the firearm to retain the firearm. If the court finds that there is no probable cause to believe that the individual is dangerous, the court shall order the law enforcement agency having custody of the firearm to return the firearm to the individual.
(c) This section does not authorize a law enforcement officer to perform a warrantless search or seizure if a warrant would otherwise be required.
As added by P.L.1-2006, SEC.537.

This tells me the officer can take your weapons to protect you from yourself or others without consequence, and if the court determines he did not have grounds to label you as a "Dangerous" person, you get the weapons back, with no penalty towards the officer.
Can you expand upon the "extenuating circumstances" part a little bit? At what point is it "more" than just a request? I think that is the part most people are confused about. I guess what I'm trying to get at is, what action or actions on my part, allow you to take my firearm from me during a traffic stop?
I didn't see anywhere about no penalty. If the officer takes your firearm without cause, and your firearm is returned, there is still the issue of the violation of your fourth amendment rights.
So, we should continue to allow our rights to be violated because we're fighting a losing battle?

I have seen several times where a stash of drugs are kept in the magazine in an auto pistol. Several officers ask for the gun just to see if any drugs are there.
You forgot to add that your 15 year old son was driving.Example two actually happened to me. I don't want to talk about it.
