My personal reaction would have been to have not turned my weapon over to him for inspection. "Thank you Sir, but I would rather comply with Texas law and keep my weapon concealed".
"Oh, no not at all. Do you mind if I see it?". At this point he was asking if I minded. I then would have responded as I show above as I took it to be a purely conversational request. If he then rephrased his question to become a demand from a Peace Officer, I would comply. I am quite reluctant to remove my weapon from its holster outside my residence.
