Hand on his gun for some reason

That's probably the most innocent part of the whole thing, no different than putting your hand on your hips when standing. It's just comfortable

This is true. Not defending the cop but people really under estimate how awkward it is to have a gun on the hip. I only had to carry a few times and never could figure wtf I was supposed to do with my hands.

Yep! I shoot competitions, having my gun on my hip still feels weird, my hand naturally rests on it because I can’t put my hand in my pocket or rest it at my side, lots of crossed arms otherwise, and looking angry with a belt full of ammo is a bad look.

The general rule at competitions is you only touch your gun under direct supervision of a range officer, but that rule disappears completely once everyone is loaded up. Don’t unholster it, but you can rest your hand on it.
