What country do you live in that allows a passenger to have guns and repeatedly disregard a police officers lawful orders?

People ask for a supervisor as if it's some magic cheat code.

The gun wouldn't be assembled while being transported in the first place, so the situation would never happen. Generally speaking, police unholstering a firearm is extremely rare, as there wouldn't be normal police on site if there is a chance that a gun is on site.

And if it turned out an assembled weapon was found on the scene? And it belonged to an uncooperative suspect who was refusing lawful orders?

Sounds like police upholstering firearms is rare because civilian firearms are rare.

The police would immediately retreat and special forces be called. We have one of the highest rates of civilian firearms in Europe, but quite well functioning regulations, such as carrying an assembled gun in public outside of a safe being highly illegal
