Simply being armed can not be considered evidence of being up to trouble/etc. And that is all the OP had done to be harrassed, he was legally armed.
The decision had nothing to do with the police, Terry stops or reasonable suspicion at all. The issue addressed is whether arming oneself can be considered evidence that one intended to provoke a fight or kill someone beyond a reasonable doubt (the standard required for a criminal conviction).
