I'm equally curious to know how often you stop people who are carrying concealed but with no permit.

I've had countless CCW holders. I ask where it is and ask them not to reach in that area for our mutual safety. All during traffic stops. If it was more serious of a violation I've asked where it was and said I was securing for our mutual safety and I've pulled the magazine and cleared it before giving it back after the situation is resolved.
Non CCW is a whole different story. Depending on my security feeling I've drawn my own weapon to a low ready position and talked through the situation. IE investigating assaults, stolen vehicles, etc. A basic traffic stop with non CCW and a gun and not feeling threatened its all verbal control.
Im pretty good at playing nice all the while thinking of how I'd have to defend myself if I had to.
