wow, the comments are interested.
but what i find interesting is the fact that the police didn't throw him to the ground or shoot him when they accidently saw his undeclared weapon peeking. you know....the one that most everyone here is afraid will get them killed or a gun stuck in their face if an undeclared bulge or a barrel or holster or other indication of a gun turns up. i knew it was all overblown but still, here's what i believe: if you are the right person, you'll be fine. if you're the wrong person, you might get your head blow off....over the undeclared pistol. you know who you are, so declare appropriately.
in the meantime, this story is my link to the next person who says for sure you will eat pavement if you don't declare and the gun peeks, i have a real life example where that isn't always true.
in a state where you must declare, the police have every right to react strongly to those that do not, after all, you're probably a criminal. in my state where you don't have to declare, the police know it is entirely possible for a law-abiding citizen to not declare a concealed weapon that might peek out, so they would be remiss if they reacted strongly without any other indications. not the best position for police to be in so i always declare when it is likely the police will come into contact with my weapon.
