A man walking down the street appears to have an illegal weapon. What can a police officer do?

An officer may briefly stop someone when specific, reasonable facts create suspicion that criminal activity may be occurring. If the officer reasonably suspects the person is armed and dangerous, the officer may conduct a limited frisk for weapons. That makes “With reasonable cause, the officer can stop this individual and frisk him” the correct choice; an immediate search warrant is not required for this limited safety frisk.
