Details will be minimal but here is what happened in a nutshell.
I was at the valet entrance to Allegheney General Hospital to pick up my step mother. Apparently while helping her to the car, someone saw my holstered GLOCK 21. As I left the hospital and proceeded down the street, I was pulled over by 5 PGH Police cars. I was removed from the car, disarmed, and berated with questions about my handgun being "registered" as I just purchased it and apparently they could not find it in whatever "Database" they were looking in. I tried to advise the officers of the fact that there is NO REGISTRATION in PA, they just ignored me and reiterated their opinion as fact. My firearm was returned.
I am in the process of writing a letter to the Chief of Police and considering my options. Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.
