Not a good idea. In fact, a horrible idea. I do not recommend anyone try this. Even if you are just joking, it’s not funny, and you will not like the response.
Note, you didn’t say “touched” the gun, you said “grabbed” the gun. If a person grabbed my gun I would assume they were attempting to disarm me. As the other officers here have answered, my response would be immediate and very forceful. In Illinois this would be a Class 2 felony at the very least.
