I should probably make a new post, but...
I have been away for a while as the credit union I work at on Thurs, took away our internet access. That is when I had enoght time to read and post.
I have a little extra time now and thought I would jump back on here.

I know I am a little late on this, but my head is about to explode. txinvestigator has already pointed out that p.c. is not required for the detention. Yes, he was lawfully detained as the law allows people to be detained in suspicious places and times.
The officers had a person lawfully deatained that may have been a burglar and may have had warrants. (newsflash, because someone has a chl does not mean they do not have warrants) Though, I would not unload the magazine, I think waaaaay to much is being made out of a situation that was handled well by the officers.
Most car dealerships have one of thos white pipe fences that goes around it. Because you can step over it does not mean you are welcome there when the business is closed.
The mag may have been unloaded becasue it would take time for it to be reloaded, thus giving the officers a chance to leave the area. Again, I would not have done it, but I certainly would not say an officer was wrong for doing so.
People need to put themselves in an officer's situation. I do not see how unloading a gun is a dangerous act, I have unloaded my guns maybe once or twice and have never had it go off. (sarcasm intended).
KinnyLee you handled it well. If someone does not want to be lawfully detained by LE, and disarmed in the manner seen fit by the officer, don't go onto someone else's property at night with your gun on.
