As far as I can tell he didn't have a permit to carry. If he did then this may not have happened. I understand that it was necessary for protection in the area that he was in but he should have made a better effort to conceal it knowing the consequences of getting caught. The officers were justified in this one.

Most definitely. That is the correct way to look at it, if you are looking at it from the legal perspective. However, if you look at it from a lawful (or Constitutional) perspective, then his right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Had he allowed the police to capture him, it would no doubt have resulted in jail time. This, for the victimless crime of carrying arms in America. I can see both sides of the argument, it is unfortunate I have to engage in doublethink to do so.
