That isnt right, I don't mind telling the officer I have a gun, but I don't want any special treatment.

Why do you feel like a jerk? I always wanted to know who I was talking to after stopping someone when I worked patrol. My Dept also REQUIRES Officers to ID themselves to another agency when stopped. Common sense. If the copper respects your retired status enough to cut you a break, enjoy it. You've earned it; that how most coppers I know feel about retired guys. You COULD have demanded a supervisor and a cite if it bothered you that much.
