Good LEO contact in Arlington

Went to ex's house to pick up son for visitation - I guess he forgot to tell her I was coming. She called 911, told them I was an intruder and I was carrying 5 guns (I got a copy of the 911 call).
I called 911 and asked for a civil standby while I picked up my son for court ordered visitation.
We quickly had 3 cruisers in the yard.
Of course, I was disarmed. (I had to remind him of the NAA .22mag on my belt buckle - I thought I'd have to release it for him but he finally figured it out.
He did ask why I was carrying three guns. I told him because I could. That pretty much stopped the stupid questions.
He let me go back to my truck to get something, pen, insurance, I forget, and did not realize that was where I had the serious artillery.
Anyway, after 15 minutes while I visited w/one LEO, exy-poo harangued another and the third watched, they un-loaded and returned my guns.
All in all, it was a postive encounter, especially considering the circumstances. It could have gotten real ugly!
