I hope the guy sued the department and the officer lost his job. Guy out minding his own business gets pulled over for a technical violation; cooperates with the cop, then Barney Fife finds out he's exercising his Constitutional right to bear arms and he goes crazy, making a false arrest on a pretend charge. Some people should not have police power.
Good thing there aren't more Ernie Chambers in our legislature or we'd have laws like that here too (along with no concealed carry); maybe we'd be getting busted for thoughtcrime violation.

Getting out of your vehicle before being told pisses off the LEO's very time.

This is an awesome example of what NOT to do when officially approached by LEO's...he got out of the vehicle, did NOT inform the LEO that he was a permit holder until he was face down and handcuffed...I am not at all surprised at the reaction of the officer...he sees a guy with a gun...how he is to know if he is a threat or not?
Gary:
And you guys wonder why my gun is disassembled and scattered across my dash on a traffic stop.
Never exit the vehicle, unless instructed to do so.
Engine off, keys on the dash in plain sight.
Radio off.
Interior lights on, all of them.
All windows down, even if it is raining.
Hands on the wheel, 10 & 2.
Eye contact with officer.
Keep mouth shut, speak when spoken to. Answer all questions, obey all directives.
Have license, ins card, and vehicle registration in left hand on the wheel as the officer approaches the car.
Be friendly.

The whole notion of handling your weapon at any point AFTER you get pulled over just strikes me as just about the dumbest thing you can do and risks getting you shot if the Officer sees you and feels threatened. I know you bragged about being able to break it down like a ninja, but that just adds risk to the equation when you could just leave it alone and inform the guy where it is.
I think rolling down all the windows is a useless gesture as well. All that's gonna do is make the cop wonder "WTF?" as he approaches the vehicle.
....but I'm just a mortal. :)
