Bushrat, I agree with you that lots of people go about their chosen activity all the time without incident. I'm only questioning if there was actually an extenuating situation like you mention or not. It is extremely rare, we agree on that, which is why I question why the pistol was pulled. DK said the officer's response was "you never know who you are dealing with" sounds like a pretty casual reason to unholster a sidearm. I hope you are right and that there was more to the situation than some guy out target shooting. I personally still think it was wrong, but I wasn't there, I'm speculating.
So.... getting back to the original question, have you, or anyone you know, ever been asked to produce their POL/PAL? lol
