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".
While I understand your not wanting to turn it over, if he was a Federal Officer on Federal Land, Texas laws go out the window. No matter, you still must comply with the request of the officer if they choose to disarm you.
My statement was predicated purely on this,

"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.
OK, see your point. I don't disagree on that one. :tiphat:
I would have been very agreeable to any request seeing that he already had them for a camp fire during a burn ban - not a cheap ticket.
