Yes, it is odd. It shows that the cop was a jerk. Some are, most aren't. It doesn't show a coordinated effort by Massachusetts cops to hassle out-of-state drivers with concealed carry licenses.
When I was in college I got stopped by a cop on the way to work at 3:30 am for going 33 mph in a 30 mph zone. The cop very aggressively asked if I had been drinking. I said, "No sir, I'm just on my way to work". He had me get out of the car, do a field sobriety test, and blow into the breathalyzer. (0.0000) Then he went back to his car and spent his sweat time running my license and registration. All told he made me an hour late for work, and still wrote me the ticket for 33 in a 30 mph zone. I almost lost my job and was on probation for being late to work. What does that prove? The cop was a jerk and on a power trip. He just messed with me because he could and it passed the time on the graveyard shift.
