There are two schools of thought on this dilemma.
The right to carry, I fully condone as do many others but there are many who do not.
In keeping with that, anything you can do to limit the negative attention to firearms is in all our best interest.
It is all our responsibilities to keep our firearms secure, safe, and under our control at all times.
The same effort that goes into safe handling has to be practiced in concealment, who ever called the police acted correctly and at least was alert to a potential threat. You are an unknown quantity and therefore were a potential problem.
Had the firearm been properly concealed, you would just be another customer.
You screwed up, the police while perhaps over zealous were just doing there job, don't complain about the fact that they were effective.

By the way, "small of the back" is the worst method for gun handling as well as your own physical safety, one slip and fall and you could very easily suffer serious spinal damage.

It is not the way to carry, also taking a few courses doesn't make you qualified for anything, the fact that your firearm was not concealed made you a first target in an armed robbery.

Save your money don't sue the police, spend your funds on some additional lessons on the proper use of your firearm.

It seems to me that the whole point of carrying a concealed weapon is that it remain concealed. I know that if I'm carrying a weapon the last thing I want to see is people glancing at me with alarm and concern.
