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.

I'll be sure to pass your keen observation on to some of my pals, Marine intelligence officers and classified materials couriers who go armed with Beretta M9s or Colt Officer's Model .45s in the small of their backs daily, as well as a couple of similarly fitted-out CIA couriers and Brit 14th Intelligence Company personnel whose routine carry piece in that position during operations in Northern Ireland is the .380 L88A1 Walther PP.

It's not my preferred means or location for carry, concealed or otherwise, but then I don't wear a Marine dress uniform blouse or utilities or a pullover or Barbour raincoat most of the time, nor carry a 9mm Ingram M10 as my backup gun anymore either. Neither do I tell other people what means and method of carry will or won't work best for them, though I'll sometimes offer advice if requested.

Funny those Galco NSA middle-of-back holsters are so popular...I wonder who's been buying them on government purchase orders by the hundreds....
