thats BULL
A concealed carry tells any officer with common sense that you are someone who will go the extra mile, through as much backround check as the state can perform, to deal with weapons in a responsible way. no one is going to go apply to get a CC and then steal firearms.
a CC permit also means you are helping the officers out, making their job easier. i dont know a single officer who doesnt respect those with a permit, and i also know plenty of officers who will let people off of speeding ticket and other minor infractions when they see a CC permit. (assuming you have a good attitude) If that officer gave him a hard time due to having a CC permit and a pistol, then that officer is an idiot. They already are an idiot if they search the truck without consent, because anything that they found that truck that actually mattered to the law would have been supressed in court. he could have had 50 bricks of crack and a bloody murder weapon and it would be thrown out of court.
