The first thing he teaches is, he said, when a person is on private property and a warden stops and asks to see a license, the first thing to do is ask the warden for his credentials. The second thing, Palan said, is to boot the warden off the property because he's trespassing.

What kind of delusional thinking is that? 

In an encounter with Law Enforcement, he or she will most likely set your firearm ASIDE during the encounter, to assure safety.  You get them back at the end of the contact.  I would expect that to happen on a stop involving a cop. They don't know you, or what you have in mind, or what you may have done, and the courts have held they may make the scene safe.

If your firearm is the instrumentality of a violation it is evidence and it will be retained for court, possibly forfieted by the judge.
I quick trip to prison will result in pointing, running away with or hiding a firearm during a Law Enforcement stop.

Sorry that's the way it is, this mountain man/posse commitatus stuff is going to get people jailed, or hurt...
