1st time pulled over with gun, made to sit in police car

i got pulled over going 65 in a 45mph construction zone by a highway patrolmen. told him i had a loaded firearm in the center console. he looked at my ids and then told me to step out and sit with him in his car (front seat). he ran my info and we chit chatted about things on my record and where i was going but i mostly sat there in silence.anyone ever had this happen? i assume he didnt want me with the gun but i had a passenger in the car and the gun was still in the center console. when he first said it i thought he said he's going back to his car and i just said ok. he then repeated it and i understood he wanted me to go with him lol. i thought it was strange. anyways he let me go with a warning. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2qUatio
