regardless of what account is true -- he was confronted in the store for a couple of reasons: 1) he wanted to check out what he was buying, before he bought -- who hasn't done this: taken something out of package to see if it was going to work for them?? 2) he was carrying a weapon perhaps he was rude when he told the store clerk he had a license to carry. This didn't justify calling the cops, imo, unless he did something that was threatening to the clerk, which I didn't see in any of the accounts ... I don't want to defend someone who pulled a gun on a cop -- if he did that -- for whatever reason -- the result was to be expected -- but if he didn't -- then the cop(s) ought to be done with his(their) career -- period and subject to civil penalties. But I wouldn't expect that to happen if the evidence supports that the cop was wrong -- they will most likely "back their own."
