I've been some kinda Cop for over 34 years. If I'm making some sort of contact with you I'd appreciate knowing that you're armed. IF you seem upset or mad I'd want your gun secured. If not, I don't care if you have it on you. We do have to investigate all complaints no matter have minor they might seem. It what we do. Often real minor stuff gets out of hand without an Officer/Deputy to smooth things out.
I don't know this Officer's Department Policies. He didn't seem to abuse the OP, Asking the Op to disarm himself just to ensure both of their safety could be a good way of controlling the situation until the Officer really knew what was going on.
I will say that knowing your local Officer/Deputy helps when you do have him show up at the door. Make the effort to meet yours if you get the chance.
