"According to a police news release, a citizen spotted a gun being displayed inside a car."
Let's assume that the "citizen" (a) exists and (b) was credible. What RAS did the officers have? 941.23 - nope, the citizen saw the weapon, therefore it wasn't concealed. 167.31? - perhaps, although there was nothing to suggest that the weapon was loaded, encasement may be an issue, maybe not. "Tentative" suggest they know they can't win on concealed carry but need to throw something on the table until they can get their story straight. Look for "Disorderly Conduct" coming to a court near you. As soon as they can convince the witness how upset/frightened/worried/concerned/out of sorts/irritated/scared he/she was.
