I wonder if it could cause a problem were a cop to ask that magic question they never seem to ask if I don't pay the $12 to get the new ID. That probably means they'll be disarming me for "safety" and touching my gear.
Why would they try to steal your property just because you're OC and have no RAS that you're committing a crime?
And why would you choose to provide your ID & carry license upon demand, when they have no RAS that you're doing something requiring a license or ID? That's just reinforcing to them that what they're doing is acceptable.
cop: "can I see ID?"
me: "nope."
uninformed cop: "Do you have a carry permit?" (instead of "how do I know you're not a felon?")
me: What am I doing that you think requires me to have a concealed carry license?
If he comes up with an actual crime he thinks I'm committing, for which a defense is having a concealed carry license (e.g. carrying concealed, carrying in the magical 1000' bubble around a school, carrying in a taxpayer-owned building) I'll show my licenses.
