Damn Kirk, I didn't realize from the OP that you were there and witnessed that, holy cow that puts the whole incident into a new light

Yes, I was there. I got to look down the barrel of one of my own pistols as he attempted to learn on the job how a 1911 functioned as he lasered passing traffic and my leg.
Anytime you handle firearms there is a risk of serious bodily injury or death. The less you handle firearms the smaller your chance of injuring yourself or others.
Passing a firearm while seated in a vehicle along a public highway necessitates the pistol being pointed at something, too many passing cars, people, kids, motorcycles, seated drivers,
inter alia for me. This is per se reckless.
If I'm in trouble for being too safe, then I'm in big trouble.
I do not know on under what statutory basis on this coonfingering of the gun is being done, but I object. It's one thing to run numbers if pursuant to a caretaking function (recovered property, mva) or an arrest, but just to run numbers on traffic stops is a dangerous outrage (and as the state police can tell you, very expensive after their Don's Guns stop *snicker*).
