Seriously...you are going to worry about whether a LEO can run your serial number or not? Here is my advice:
1. Don't do anything that would result in you getting pulled over in the first place. (its not rocket surgery...err, whatever)
2. If you are stopped and asked for your gun, simply comply with the request and if you don't like it, file a formal complaint with the supervisor later.
3. Don't be a jerk. Be polite and respectful. If you are rude and disrespectful, the stop can turn out very bad for you. Remember, An armed society is a polite society.
Yeah, it is a pain for an officer to ask for your gun, run the serial, and return it to you with the ammo removed. But if you are stubborn, obstinate, rude and disrespectful, guess what...the LEO is going to make the stop just that much worse for you. He can take 30 minutes to run a check for warrants. He can just sit in his car and wait. He can completely disassemble your gun. Is that fair? Absolutely not. But it is reality.
I have to laugh at all the posters who say "Well I would do this..." Go ahead. Then you can go ahead and post the story here about how you were treated unfairly, etc. Because I can tell you right now, its not going to turn out well for you. Just my .02
