Perldog007, That is because we are taught to make sure the scene is safe for us. I have come across many guns on patients and they do not freak me out. Most of the time someone with a CCL will tell you they have a weapon. It's only the BG's I worry about.
I just had a guy Christmas eve in an auto accident that had a S&W 9mm under his front seat. I found it when I was trying to move his seat back because he was pinned in the wreakage. He was unconscious so the PD got to hold the weapon until he can claim it. The minivan was totaled but the S&W 669 was not harmed!!
