He may be seeing what he thinks is an imprint so he's giving you an attitude check, which means it is then time to politely say that you have a CCW and are practicing your right currently. If he wishes to further the convo outside at that point it is up to the officer.
I fully understand an officer's need to want to go home safely, for me to take a minute out of my day to communicate and maybe take a piece of paper out of my wallet is the least I can do.

I hope that's one cops opinion and not the OCSD policy. I can see a defense lawyer taking a comment like that and turning every consensual encounter into an "official contact".
