Didn't want to hijack the other thread on the open carry guy who informs the cops of his rights but that thread raises some questions for me.

How can cops not be allowed to ask for ID yet in AZ they are supposed to check for immigration status? How can you do that? Does it come back to state laws wither or not the cops can ask for ID?

If there's an incident at my house and the cops show up I'm assuming I'd have to prove that I'm the home owner/resident. How does that tie in with open carry and the cops checking to see if you're a wanted person or someone who should NOT be in possession of a gun? You're walking down the street with a side arm and I can understand exercising your right to open carry but how does the cop know/distinguish that you're not a whack job heading into a business to gun down people who've pissed you off?

I'm not understanding the fine line between LOE doing their job, checking up on potential problems and my rights as a private citizen in CO.
