I am not sure where granbury is, but if it is in Texas then your friend should have been covered under the castle doctrine. This allows any citizen that can legally own a firearm to carry one concealed and loaded in their vehicle even without a chl. It was a good thing that your friend told the officer straight out that hemwas carrying but maybe the fact that there was no attempt to conceal it might have put the officer on edge though I feel the treatment of your friend was unjustified. unfortunately I have heard that it can get a little dicey in claiming this right. Some officers understand this portion while other maybe not be as informed. This is why I make sure I always have my chl so that I may avoid this type of situation from happening. As for your friend he should file a grievance. If anything it might enlighten that officer that there are also good people out there that want the ability to defend themselves and their loved one from harm when help may not be accessible.
