Re: thoughts on being disarmed
That was me and I did report the officer to his supervisor for disarming me. They are not allowed to disarm willy nilly (they need a reasonable cause and he had none) and I did everything you can possibly do to make him feel safe. The driver side officer knew I was armed and didnt care, the passenger was the jumpy one. Also, he did not return it inthe condition it was taken. He unloaded the mag and put everything banging around in a baggie. Can I put your $1200 1911 in a baggie with loose 45acp rounds and a mag scratching all over it?TexasGal wrote:I understand the nervousness of the police at anyone that is armed. I don't hold it against them. He/she works in a job where they are lied to daily by people. It can sure cause some trust issues. I do hope the person disarming me is thinking clearly about how to handle the loaded firearm(s) so the less I act like I am going to be a problem, the more attention he/she has to handle the gun(s). I remember reading a post once where the officer was unfamiliar with the 1911 he was trying to unload. The owner was sweating watching him fumbling with it wondering just what the outcome would be if the officer shot himself with it.
