I have to say at the moment I just wanted him to leave. Now the more I think about it... I am pissed about the whole thing.

Well I think thats what pissed him off so much. I put the pistol down before his was out of his holster.

Ok, I am not going to mention where this happened but here is the story. I own a business and sometimes I have to be there real late like 1am-3am late. The location is in a light industrial park with little to no outside lighting and more or less in the middle of nowhere. For this reason I always have a pistol with me.I was there this week in my business and at 1:30am I hear someone beating on my door. I look from the back of the business to the door and see someone shining a flash light in the windows next to the door. Now this scared the shit out of me since NO ONE ever knocks on that door even in the day. Now this door has 2 windows on both sides of it so you can see in from the outside. So I get up with my pistol in my hand and put it behind my back and walk to the door.When I get there I see it's a police officer. So I immediately put the gun down on a table he freaks out and starts yelling and pulls his gun out. Now let me remind you. I am in my business behind a locked door he had no reason to be there other than just patrolling. So I let him in because what choice do you have when a cop pointing a Glock at you. So I let him in and he starts freaking out why I had this gun. I told him this is my business and I had a NJFID so there was nothing illegal about me having a pistol. He then starts saying I am lucky to not be arrested and or shot. I asked him for what and he never answered or gave me his name. He checked my ID and then lectured me on having the pistol and I should get a bat. He said that he never saw my car there and wanted to be sure that who ever was in there was OK. I asked why he was patrolling back there and he said that businesses back there get burglarized quite often and he wonders why I keep a pistol there late at night. So after about 20 mins of being a prick he left. What I found odd about the whole thing is he never called in my license for warrants or anything. Was I wrong in anything I did? Did he overstep his bounds by forcing me to let him into my business? To me this is not any different from your house. I will say in the future I will keep my holster with me so that instead of holding it behind my back I will holster my pistol when someone bangs on the door at 1:30am
