Sounds like a reasonable ruling (disorderly conduct), but, I have to question the circumstances of his "checking his fireman" to be sure it was secure.

Was he asked if it was secure? Did the policeman say something to the effect of..."it's unsheathed, or unsnapped, or not holstered securely/properly", then he "checked" it?

What caused him to "check it"?

Checking your "fireman" in public IS grounds for arrest in most states.

He was probably open carrying as a matter of pressing the issue of open carry - thus making himself uncomfortably aware of its visibility. This pan-conscious awareness/belief that a perfectly legal activity may very well get one arrested tends to induce nervous fidgeting, and with carrying a pistol that means frequently adjusting it into a more comfortable & low-profile position.

Hence, he frequently “checked” it. Just nervous fiddling. People new to concealed carry tend to do the same thing, but being concealed they don’t get caught at it so easily.
