I was riding my motorcycle back to Sierra Vista following the AWESOME AZCDL Annual Meeting in Phoenix, when a traffic accident which did not involve me (but almost did) occurred. I pulled off at the next available exit (Benson) and called 911 to report the accident. The dispatcher told me to stay put and that DPS would be contacting me.
A while later, a DPS car rolled up. I was still OC'ing my Glock 22 from the meeting earlier but it was partially concealed under my riding jacket. As the officer got out of his car, I put my hands out in front plainly and said "Sir I just want to let you know I'm carrying my sidearm," to which he replied "I see it." That was pretty much the bulk of it; he did not ask for it or take custody or anything. I gave him my statement and he left. Very positive and courteous overall.
