Only if you gave him consent to search (I'm assuming he didn't have a search warrant), and even then I would be suspicious of how freely the consent was given. Please contact me to discuss your case in more detail. I never charge for simpl;y talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

He can because he has that gun on his hip. The better question is whether such an intrusion would be lawful. It all depends on the circumstance. Consent requires that one give permission voluntarily and totally without coercion or threat.

Call me if you like for a better answer, based on the additional information that you provide.
