722wdblazer, for an excellent example of why we refuse unlawful requests for ID or CPL please read the thread here on the Washington forum about GoGoDawgs and others' experience at Ft. Worden camping this past weekend.
I understand that you are young and inexperienced and do not want any trouble right off the bat. That's perfectly normal. The remedy for that is to become VERY familiar with Washington's gun laws and to really listen to the more experienced folks here. Some people do become nervous when stopped by a LEO; we are taught to be afraid and to cooperate with them by mainstream society and the media. I was nervous when I was stopped for a traffic infraction while I was OC. It went well, even though he took my gun temporarily; he was familiar with the laws and knew OC was legal and did not have a problem with it. The police will sometimes take it when you are stopped for a traffic infraction, supposedly for "officer safety". I was not about to wrestle with him over my gun, but I did tell him that I did not give my consent to it. You might also want to read the thread about Tom Brewster's experience along these lines a couple of years ago.
You may also want to check out Dave Workman's book, "Washington State Gun Rights and Responsibbilities", available at most local gun ranges. He also writes a regular column on line at Seattle Gun Examiner (sorry if I got that wrong) don't remember if it's .org or .com.
The more we "go along to get along" the faster we lose our God given rights. SPD in particular has and is being investigated for excessive use of force, for one thing. The police are not always right, though they would like you to think so. Our founding fathers fought the most powerful nation on earth at the time and died for what they believed was fair, just, and our birthright. When you cave in and give ID when you don't have to, you negate that sacifice. Our rights were not given to us by our government, they are God given and therefore cannot be taken away, although many governments have and continue to try. Governments have nothing to fear from slaves, but they are afraid of free men and women. The gun on my hip very definitely says I am not a slave. The Constitution of The United States of America (God bless her!) and the Bill of Rights is not there to enumerate our RIGHTS, it's purpose is to put the government on notice that these rights are not to be infringed(violated).
Please try to keep an open mind and learn from those more experienced. The journey to your personal freedom is an exciting one and the only end is when you take your last breath. Welcome to the forum, I hope you will stay and learn a lot. This is an excellent group of people to learn from and be associated with. Try to attend one of the monthly get togethers at a Starbucks; you don't have to open carry or carry at all to attend. Meet some of the people on the forum; that will give you a better idea of who you are talking to. Listen to the people who have been where you are and learn from them and from their mistakes; you won't live long enough to make them all yourself!:lol:
