I don't think I'm going to challenge the officer whom I just called to act in official capacity and protect me. If he or she wants to 'feel safe' by holding onto my gun so be it. I don't feel criminalized or made to feel guilty as I know who I am and what I stand for. Nobody can make me feel a certain way, it's my choice to react or interpret others actions for myself.
I agree with those who choose to take it up after the fact in writing or a call to that station if somehow they felt it necessary to educate/complain. By the way, cops just love to be told when and how they should conduct themselves and there duties by nonLEO. Great track record there! (sarcasm). It is important to educate and spread a positive message about responsible citizens carrying handguns and to what extent that right is observed; but on the roadside, walking down the street, or in the middle of them operating in official capacity just doesn't seem like the right environment. Not conducive to open dialogue.
Just my opinion..before my coffee. I'm a bit grouchy and not sharp on sentence structure.
or spelling for that matter....
