A routine traffic stop turned into a nightmare when a cooperative, legally armed citizen was shot in the leg with his own gun while a female officer was attempting to disarm him in Jacksonville, Florida.

Legally armed driver Edward Arrington informed Officer Mindy Cardwell that he had a gun on his person and followed all instructions.

As the officer attempted to remove the holstered gun, she struggled, causing Arrington to suggest loosening his belt for easier removal.

Despite this, Cardwell forcefully tugged at the firearm multiple times. When she finally removed it, she unintentionally placed multiple fingers inside the trigger guard, causing the gun to discharge and strike Arrington in the leg.

Several years ago a friend of mine was stopped in Bend for a traffic infraction.

He was legally carrying and IIRC he told me this was revealed however when one of the cops involved during the stop who was on the passenger side of the vehicle saw the gun he started screaming 'gun, gun' like a demented, frightened idiot.

Apparently this caused the primary, stopping LEO on the drivers side to overreact and he drew on my friend who told me he froze and didn't move a muscle.

He was ultimately handcuffed, disarmed and detained until completely cleared and released, but not until several other LEO arrived essentially over nothing.
Sounds normal with the clowns they hire now day's Fabricate // Escalate // Just be grateful they didn't murder him like so many of this sort interaction goes
