Narrative:
We told frg tower we needed fuel and would like to go to self-service pump on airport. We were given permission to go there. We landed uneventfully and a city car came up to us and started hollering at us for landing in an unapproved area. We asked where he would like us to land and told him the tower gave us permission to land there. He said the tower does not own the airport, he does, and he doesn't like helicopter's and they should not be allowed on airports. He said we were a hazard to his airport and to leave. We left.
