Open carry brehs: do you show CPL when cops ask?

[valet]

Quick story. So I went to a gas station in the hood. And I see a cop car right in front. Go in and it's 2 cops. One a white woman and one a breh. Another breh in shorts had his gun open on his side. White cop ask "Can I see your CPL?" So I'm thinking to myself a) Why would he open carry in front a bunch of cops unless he had license? Who would be that dumb?"

So breh pulled out the license and got smart with her "See, I'm citizen just like you.". She said nothing and the left out. I was talking to breh and he was saying he got tired of being profiled. If he was old White man, she wouldn't have said nothing


Something didn't feel right so I looked up the law and it's not legal to demand that unless your suspicious of a crime. So my open carry brehs, if your that situation how would you have responded?

And to anti- gun folks

Telling a cop you strapped up is a quick way to elevate a situation for no reason.

In this case breh had on shorts and the gun was right in the open in a holster.

In some states it's the law to disclose you're carrying

Best way in that situation is comply and go about your day instead of going to jail even if you're right.

I don’t think you legally have to give ID. That sounds like a 4th amendment violation. I’m no lawyer tho.

If they take you to jail for no reason, and violate your rights, you’re getting a 5 figure settlement. No need to comply when you don’t have to.

In Michigan you don't. Breh was in line getting a Black. That was it. No suspension of a crime

Open carrying is dumb. If you live in a state where you can conceal carry that's what you should do.

That's like a poker player showing his entire hand trying to win.

Most people will just give up their name or ID. I used to too, until I learned the law.

You don't need a CPL to open carry so thats confusing in its self.

But if I was open carrying yea i would cause I really don't have time for the back and forth, when I can just shut it down that quick.
