Reply #47: He wasn't carrying concealed.

In this country, when the police demand your ID, you must identify yourself. You don't have to produce an ID card, but if you give a name/address that doesn't check out, you're in big trouble. And they will ask for name and place of residence, and check it.

It's not a very old ruling.


If the person id'd himself with bogus info that didn't check out, the officer would inquire further.
If the person id'd himself with a name that checks out, the officer could then tell if the person was just released from jail/otherwise prohibited.

The officer should have gotten that guy's full name and residence. Should have arrested him for failure to comply. This has already been to the supreme court.

Edit: the subject was obviously trolling as well, carrying a firearm but no ID? Calling bullshit, it was in his pocket.
