There have only been a couple of incidents I am aware of where someone was arrested for legal concealed carry and in both of those cases the DA dropped the charges. I don't believe they ever went to court even on civil damages.

Yup. No successful lawsuit for a CHL for false arrest because the DA's were smart enough to drop the charges before they cost their cities a bundle of money.

I might still have to sue if I were arrested in one of those situations and here is why...I don't want ANY arrest showing against my name. I am NOT a law-breaker...I don't steal stuff, I don't do illegal substances, I don't assault folks, and I even try to keep my foot from getting the best of me when behind the wheel. In fact, I've only ever had ONE speeding ticket, given to me in 1993 well outside Sherman on Highway 82 where the country club is located because the speed limit there goes down due to "city limits". So, if some ill-informed or over-zealous LEO arrests me when I haven't done anything wrong, they better be ready to expunge my record as well if there are no charges filed against me. I will NOT be made to look like a criminal if I did nothing wrong. That is one of the reasons we have lawyers as much as we may not like some of them at times, either.
