I thought you didn't have to show any identification if you are stopped walking while open carrying because you haven't broken any laws.
Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada requires you to identify yourself during a "police investigation". You do not have to produce ID. This is a general requirement and is wholly separate from a CCW issue.
Open carry is a huge bag of worms these days. I am constantly seeing reports of people being arrested for "disturbing the peace" or some other ridiculous charge. Although I don't personally carry openly in public (OpSec and all that), I'd love to see open carry rights affirmed throughout the country.
Quote:Is it possible to open carry in a vehicle?
Not in Michigan. In most states, anything that constitutes open carry on the street would be just fine in a vehicle. In Michigan, if the firearm isn't properly secured for transport (e.g. in a locked container with ammo separated), it is considered concealed.
Quote:What is the most accessible/shoot-ready way to open carry an assault rifle?
Tactical sling, round in the chamber, safety off? I'm not
aware of any requirements for the condition of the rifle itself, so long as you're not openly menacing/threatening people.
That said, you're going to get an awful lot of attention walking down Main Street with your rifle, let along in "condition one".
