I was not there and am not a lawyer but....
If you carry - you must carry a cell phone and if you pull the gun the first thing to come out after the situation is over is the cell phone. Call 911.
If nothing else your run in with the cops would have been recorded.

VERY VERY GOOD ADVICE. I have spoken to several attorneys regarding this matter and they all say the 1st to complain eg contact the police usually "wins". I took time bundling my family off home instead of immediately dialing 911.

I was talking to 911 when they knocked me down from behind but shortly thereafter someone kicked it out of my hand and closed it ending my call at 7 minutes+.
Those seven minutes should have included some instruction by the police as to "safing" the weapon out of my reach so the SWAT tactics would have been unnecessary.
