So I'm wondering if your permit did have 'restrictions' if he would have felt obliged to find out what handgun you had.
BTW, a text book script on handling a stop. With or without a firearm. I had a similar non-firearm stop last year. At the conclusion the officer and I shook hands. My compliments.
I don't remember which NJ Lawmaker it was, but they stated he was against permits because blacks in his district were already killing too many people! And then the crickets.... Not ONE of them called him out, for his blatant racism.
