Government Code 411.207 says, "A peace officer ... may disarm a license holder at any time the officer reasonably believes it is necessary for the protection of the license holder, officer, or another individual."

I'd like to hear this trooper articulate his reasonable belief that disarming you was necessary for his protection. Same for any other officer who has a blanket policy of disarming all CHLs.
