"during the course of any arrest, detainment, OR routine traffic stop."

Apparently not... :P
Apparently a traffic stop falls under the definition, your quoting the law which is overly specific for those that don't know what detainment means I'm guessing...lol
detain
[dih-teyn]
verb (used with object)
  1. to keep from proceeding; keep waiting; delay.

Ok, I'll give ya that (technically). But in court, being legally "detained" by an officer rarely (if ever?) means a routine traffic stop. It's more likely to happen after the stop. :P

Either way, tell the officer you have a permit and a handgun. :drunk2:

Yep. Open carried for many years before the SDA laws came into effect. Met many Game Wardens and Deputy Sheriffs with a pistol on my hip at the farm, and during hunting seasons.
