A "positive contact," while possibly annoying or even borderline harassing, would look like this:
LEO: "Nice pistol. What is that, a _____?"
MWAG: "yes, it's a ____."
LEO: "Shoots good?"
MWAG: "yep"
LEO: "you have a license for it, right?"
MWAG: "yeah"
LEO: "Great. Hey, sorry to bother you, but would you mind showing me your license? We got a call from a concerned citizen. Would really help if I could just confirm to my dispatch that you're licensed so they can disregard any further calls about a man with a gun matching your description."
MWAG: "sure, here ya go" (hands CHL to LEO).
LEO: "thank you, Mr. _____. Sorry again to bother you. Be safe."
LEO to dispatch: "Subject wearing _____ is licensed. Any further calls may be disregarded or forwarded to me for officer response to caller by telephone. Back in service, no report."
I agree, the above would go over real smooth with me.
