*Sorry, not diclosure...disclosure*
I will not go into detail about the incident, other than saying that there was an assault perpetrated against me by an employee of a large food/clothing chain and I called the police.
My sidearm was never drawn, actually, even if I needed to draw, I would not have had time.
I told dispatch that I was armed. When the officers arrived, the officer immediately told me to put my hand on my head asked where the gun was and disarmed me. I demanded that the employee move away from me, and he refused...I was on the phone with 911 and told them I was armed and to tell him to move away from me...gave him the phone and they told him to move away from me.
What kinda worried me is that i think dispatch told him that I was armed and to move away from me. Then I was concerned about him making up some story about me "brandishing" or something.
From what I understand, in the class I took for the Utah permit, a person does not have to notify police ion the event of a stop of any sort. Does me telling dispatch that I am armed give them the go-ahead to disarm me? I was CC'ing
I received my sidearm back after the contact was finished and police reports were filed.
A couple of concerns:
-Officer took my handgun, I carry safety off, round chambered, and he was tilting my handgun up away from the ground and there were customers walking around. I told him as he was doing it, "the safety is off, the trigger is long but light, and it is loaded, please be careful."
-He handed me back my sidearm with the slide closed. I went to check if the gun was clear before I holstered it and he asked me, "what are you doing that for." He wanted me to just holster my sidearm without even checking, kinda, trust in his "good judgment" that the sidearm was cleared...I said, "to see whether there is a round chambered or not." I suppose he can hand it back however he likes, right, maybe I am just knit-picking.
