The weird encounter was at Kent Station. I was in a Zumiez store to look for a hat. I had left my ID and CPL in my truck. Two KPD bicycle officers approached mein the store and asked if we could go outside and talk. So when I said "ok" officer #1 asked me to cover up my gun. I said, "I can't cover it up, I left my CPL in my truck." This is when he told me "It's OK this time, go ahead and cover it up so we can go outside".
That's when I said "So you're asking me to break the law?".
Thats when his face went completely blank because he just asked me to do something illegal.
So we all went outside onto the sidewalk anyway, me still OC'ing, and had a little chat. They asked me for my ID and I told them that was in my truck also. Both officer's faces were kind-op blank, jaws working but nothing coming out. He asked me to go to my truck and retrieve my CPL so I could come back to the store concealed. I told him "no. I'm not going all the way out to the parking lot to get my CPL just to conceal to look for a hat in one store.
After about five minutes of this back-and-forth I finally said to them "Have a nice day officers" and went into the store and continued to look for a hat. Basically I left them out on the sidewalk with their bikes and dumbfounded looks on their faces. Then I could see them through the window, riding away.

I don't carry I.D. for a variety of reasons. One is we are not a stop and I.D. state and we are not required to have I.D. Two it makes it a lot more difficult for the Law to ummmmm "encourage" you to cooperate when you are not breaking laws, you can honestly say to an officer who insists on seeing your "papers"I don't have any on me. If they continue to harass you and cause more problems the burden is squarely on them. Assuming of course they don't have RAS.
I have had a negative encounter with Kent PD and also a weird encounter. The first time I ever was stopped by KPD was when shopping at Winco with my wife and daughter. KPD approached me and threatened to take my pistol from me. He used color-of-law to coerce me into concealing. I was new to OC at the time and have since learned better.I also do this. I leave my ID and my CPL in my truck when I'm OC'ing.
