The traffic stop took place on Victoria Street West in the CBD yesterday at about 11.44am.
Inspector Gary Davey said in a statement, "inquiries at the scene have established that a pistol was involved in the incident".
"A Taser device was also located inside the vehicle."
A 30-year-old man is now facing charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and using a firearm against a law enforcement officer.
