And I do agree with you about the duty belt... It should have either been locked in the car (I hate that) or either in place about his waist or somehow in his IMMEDIATE control.

This isn't rocket science, and I am no stranger to LEOs.

It didn't have to be locked in the car at all. You don't drape your duty-belt on the counter for a haircut. Ever. If one has to get a haircut, schedule for civvies or suck it up in uniform. Anything less is unacceptable and unjustifiable.

I would be more than justa little uncomfortable relinquishing control of my gun in a public setting.

I am no longer a LEO... however... then or now I 'NEVER' take off my gunbelt for a haircut... (never got one in uniform or on-duty either for that matter). 'Do that on yer own time.

You should have just walked over there, pulled it out and started saying, wow nice piece, who's this far ?

I think my issues with this situation were (as the original poster)

1. A bit unnerving to be staring down the barrel of a gun. Just a bit, and it didn't cause me to move my seat or anything.

2. Weapon retention issues for this Officer

3. Weapon accessibility issues for this Officer.
