Officers were very polite and friendly, got the pistol back while I was waiting with the initial officer while my ride was on its way, so no threat at all. don't think they ran numbers, she just held the pistol in her vehicle.

Why did they seize the weapon, disarming you, and unloading it? Why the Terry frisk? You could've declined that, but the officer was nice and asked, right? I'm not saying you did anything incorrectly, but it sounds like you weren't a threat to the officer and no furtive movements made. If you do an open records act request for the encounter, did they run the numbers on your gun?

My guess is that while she had the firearm in her possession (a seizure) and in her vehicle she DID RUN THE SERIAL NUMBER TO CHECK AND SEE IF IT WAS STOLEN!

She was on a fishing expedition at your expense while she smiled to your face....
