handog's method of carry isn't any more reckless than mine. There have been a few seating arrangements that made me nervous too, where I wasn't too worried about it because I had my back to the wall. Now someone sitting behind a one way mirror may very well have been able to spot me printing badly in those situations. Sometimes I've chosen to stand, just to avoid the chance of being spotted.

Despite what he did wrong (getting spotted in a very less than ideal situation, not having the use of his hand to cover as he exited his vehicle), I still think that the responding officers went too far. Now they've taken a law abiding citizen who was either pro cop or neutral before this and left a very bad taste in his mouth.

I understand the bitterness, since I've almost been arrested falsely twice now. That sinking feeling that took up residence in my gut when I realized that they were really going to molest me in such a manner when I'm innocent is infuriating. The fact that I had an officer successfully take up my side against his fellow officers both times really did a lot for my faith in LEOs.

handog, the sting of the injustice does fade with time. I'm thankful that your CHL and gun have been returned to you without further hassle. All in all, for the way it started out, it sure ended about as well as you could have hoped for.
