In my state, I can carry a long gun in a vehicle unloaded at my age, but not a pistol. Therefore, I claim exemption to the no long gun discussion rule for this thread (since I obviously can't walk everywhere). If the mods disagree, feel free to delete it.
Before I even start, I really don't care to hear about why I shouldn't do this, so please keep it to yourself. You're not going to dissuade me, you're only going to waste your time and mine.
That said, I am getting, I hope, an AK-47 soon, and because of what I said in italics above, if I want to be armed (which I damn well do), I'll have to carry that (the only way I can carry a pistol is if my ma gets her license, gifts me a pistol, and holds on to it in the car, so I would do that, but this is for when I'm out alone and/or before I have my pistol and she has her license).
My question to you all is, since the AK-47 is "the evil gun," if the police want ID, should I give it to them? We mostly decline ID as open carriers, but then again, most of us are carrying innocuous handguns, not the dreaded AK. While it would be my right to decline, I am wondering if, maybe as a courtesy, just to not be a complete ass, I should consent to ID, at least the first few times in my town (after which everyone should know about me so they shouldn't even need ID anymore). Thoughts?
