Why am I a glutton for arguments on MGO?

i don't use MGO, any hint on what the argument is about?

Refusing to show ID/being stopped with no RAS.

It'd be worth getting an account over there just to read Zig's posts. I'm getting an education.

It's worth reading up on the actual case law - something many aren't willing to believe on MGO.

Bottom line is that in MI - if an officer asks for ID, it's a terry stop. In order to have a Terry stop, he's got to have RAS before he asks.

Mere possession of a firearm IS NOT RAS, per SCOTUS case in 2000: Florida v. J.L.

In all fairness, he might be the single greatest troll I have ever seen. When have you ever seen a troll achieve 12,000+ posts!
