The OP admitted he wears the fanny pack as bait so others would assume he's carrying a gun in it. IT APPEARS HE GOT WHAT HE WANTED. The employee in the orange vest took the bait but also incorrectly thought the guy was going to show a firearm at the gun counter. The encounter went south when the OP chose NOT to use deescalation tactics but instead returned the rude behavior of the employee with even more rude behavior. This would have been a non-event if the OP had responded with, "I'm sorry but you are incorrect. I do NOT have a gun in this bag. Feel free to check it." There was no need to say anything about having a CHL. The part about thinking he was picked on because he was "disabled" is ridiculous. The empolyee needs/needed some training on how to handle customers too.
