So I was on the side of the guy being pulled over until they said he was being arrested for traffic violations. That leads me to believe he had a warrant for his arrest.
With that context (which I am assuming) this entire incident makes a lot more sense. If you’re being arrested for outstanding warrants and announce to a cop that you are carrying a weapon legally I would fully expect them to not announce that they’re arresting you but have you safely get out of the car and then place you into custody.
The article wants to infer that he was just carrying concealed and was arrested because of it. I don’t buy that for a second.

According to the video available at the link provided at the head of this article --- he was not arrested for outstanding warrants, but instead was told that he did not use his signal (turn indicator) at a prior stop (and I assume, where he must have made a turn) and that his windshield was obstructed from the driver's seat.

There may have been something else going on (it's best to not trust news reports too far) ---but when arrested, and right about when the guy was put into a police vehicle, he was told the reasons for the arrest.

Guess away, assume all you wish -- and don't buy anything you don't need, or want. It's up to you..

Come to think of it, I'm something of a tightwad, myself.
