We have a "peace officer", moonlighting as a security guard in a liquor store, who doesn't understand the law as it pertains to liquor stores, who basically illegally disarmed a citizen who was legally carrying a weapon, then improperly handled that weapon (never made clear and safe), who wouldn't return the weapon to the civilian after being shown that he (the peace officer) had an improper understanding of the law and then handed the not clear and safe weapon to an individual unknown to him. Does that about sum it up? I'd be having a long conversation with both his bosses.
Mmm hmm.

My suggestion: pay a pop-in to Sheriff Wagner, as a courtesy. Let him know you're business in the building today is to lodge a formal complaint about the behavior one of his deputies. After that conversation and based on his reaction you can file the complaint or not.
I believe Mavs00 summed it up the best:
  1. once he "disarmed" you, did he clear and rendered your weapon safe, prior to handing it off to a 3rd (unknown to him) party?
  • did not check outstanding warrants or her past criminal history prior to arming her?
  • disregard for his own safety
  • Did he ever even check your LTC status?
Without further training the man remains a menace, a danger to himself and others. I believe that should should be formally addressed.
