I mean stopped while OC during my normal day be it pumping gas, walking thru WalMart picking up a few things....just out and about on foot doing the normal errands of my day. My concern is the whole "Hey, I need to see your ID and run the numbers on your gun to see if it is legal" kind of stopped.
I suppose my first question would likely (but perhaps not optimally) be "Why do you need to see my id?" And if they wanted to run the serial on my gun, I would suggest they get a warrant or make an appointment with my attorney.
I have also taken lately to not letting anyone hold or take any of my id other than a credit card when paying. I do not trust anyone to take it out of my sight...and this goes for police. As far as I have been able to find out, and thinking back to my academy days in NC, I believe you are only required to DISPLAY your ID, not PRESENT it (except when renewing at the DMV).
That said, "most" police in NC don't seem to be too concerned with someone OCing...just be careful that you are doing it where it is allowed (see the state "sticky" for the legal locations).
