So I'm confused, are you upset that the girls called cause they thought they were getting robbed, or are you upset that the Police Officers who responded to the armed robbery call did so with their guns drawn. Or are you upset that the Police Officers automatically didn't believe that you were a "good guy" because you produced a piece of paper with a name on it that said that person could legally carry a handgun.
I do understand the stress that you were put under and really do sympathize with that, but I would hope you can reasonably look at it from a Police Officers perspective and the danger they face when responding to that type of call. Also can hope that you do see the outcome for what it was, A robbery call was received by 911, dispatched to the police officers, investigated, and everyone went home safely.
While I know this post won't be received well by some members here who love to bash LEO's, but hope that others can understand what I'm trying to say.
Of course after re-reading your OP, I think I can get a pretty good feel for what camp you will fall into, so I probably wasted my time, but hope not.
Ok lets look at it like this the first cop had to have me move my ladder just for him to come out, next is the big white van with ladders on it and electrical equipment all over it. Finally there is the old light sitting right next to the new light and exposed wires on the side of the building.
So I guess Im upset that after seeing all of this, hearing my story and seeing my dl and my ltch I was disarmed and frisked, and treated like a criminal.
When I did nothing wrong and they didn't have the right or the cause to frisk me or take my weapon. How it should have went was this way.
I had over my info, and the other nine cops sit at the ready while he checks it out. If I made a move for my weapon I would be dropped period. So their safety is not an a problem.
This isn't the movies and Im not a mystical ninja that can draw and kill nine people before they know what happens.
I definitely shouldn't have been hemmed up like a crook and disarmed period. Like I said why is their safety more important than mine, since when do all you have to do is go throught twenty five weeks of LE training and suddenly your life has more value than every other citizen in the land.
In addition I went from a law abiding citizen to a criminal in a second flat.
As stated above by someone else the should not have ran my dl or ltch or checked to see if the gun was stolen, since I broke no laws, they had no cause to do any of the above things.
