I find myself wondering what would have happened if the attorney had been beaten to death shortly after being relieved of his handgun.

Kind of a strange thing to wonder about.

It doesn't seem overly unlikely that a prominent defense attorney ran into a LEO with a grudge who saw an opportunity for some barely legal harassing activity. That is very disappointing to me;

So your'e disappointed in something you suppose may have happened?

how many more serious "crimes" could that officer have dealt with in the 10 minutes +/- he wasted with the attorney, much less the patrol time wasted in court over such a meaningless exercise.

I don't like the flavor of this whole incident at all, but ten minutes is a very short time to be detained for
anything, let alone suspicion of illegally carrying a weapon.
That said, IF the facts were as presented, the officer overreacted, and I think the state has an obligation to give the officer means to verify any license that he is charged with verifying.
