Now, I am no officer, and I may just be a tad paranoid. But I would think the police officer would want to know why he was approaching random people at the gas pumps and then refusing offered assistance of a peace officer. Putting himself in danger by making people uncomfortable and possibly causing a situation when it was not needed.Let's turn the tables a bit. Suppose the man saw where the Op's thumb was, saw a bulge, and assumed he had a gun. After being rebuffed by the OP, he goes inside and has the clerk call 911, and a MWAG call goes out on the OP. Sure, you'll beat the rap, but when you get pulled over with 4 or 5 police pointing guns at you, and after being questioned, how nice of a day have you had? After all, the man didn't know you had a CHL and were legally carrying, he just got scared and had someone call 911 because he didn't even know it's legal for anyone to carry. You didn't pass HIS smell test, and you scared him.
