Can Police Handcuff You and Search Your Car Just Becaue You Have a Gun?

Can police handcuff you and search your car simply because you have a gun? The answer depends on the circumstances, state laws, and what officers know at the time of the encounter. In this video, we break down the constitutional principles involved, the difference between lawful firearm possession and criminal suspicion, and what courts have said about vehicle searches and detentions.
